Grant Activity:
How to fix a Pixie: Treating paintings as patients
Purpose:
The project is designed for children 8–16 years exploring the relationship between the applied science of art conservation and medical science. The project focuses on 14 Pixie O Harris paintings in the Hospital art collection that require conservation. A Pixie painting becomes the patient and is examined using imaging and sampling techniques. Treatments are conducted on the painting by an art conservator and simulated by participants. Activities led by clinicians and teachers from the DofE s Hospital School, explain how patients are diagnosed. Biological classification of native fauna depicted is used to illustrate the role of taxonomies in science. Activities led by a zoologist and Indigenous leader explain how characteristics aid survival.
