Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary depending on the artwork selection. Artwork can include 2D or 3D examples, which illustrate the illusion of time and motion, or actual motion.

Answer to Question 2

Various factors affect the degradation of an artwork, such as light, temperature, humidity, and pollutants. Conservation aims to slow the effects of time. Because of the experimental nature of da Vinci's Last Supper, the painting began to deteriorate soon after its completion, and conservators spent two decades restoring it to a more luminous, but fragmentary, image.
