Video Review

1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
    
Through the Eyes of a Sculpture was a video that took you through the journeys that many sculptors take when making sculptures. The key concepts of this video were to help viewers get a better appreciation for sculptors.  It also showed the viewers the step by step process it takes   in order to achieve the finally product.  In the video Glass and Ceramic the key concepts was to show the views how glass and ceramic is made.  The video breaks down the process from the very start, starting with the sand and stone which they are made from.  I also think a key concept of this video was explaining how important each step of the process was.  If you missed a step or don't follow the steps in the correct order you will not come out with the desired material.  Another concept was showing the viewers how glass and ceramic are all around us and how we use them each day in are daily lives. The key concepts of  Installation Art was a define what installation art really is.  The video had great examples to help explain it.  

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?

Through the Eyes of a Sculpture related to the readings because it basically reinforced what the text was saying.  The text told us how a sculptor could make a sculpture by casting a smaller version of it.  The video took us step by step on how he did it.  Starting from when the artist was sculpting the clay with the model in front of him to the plaster being ship all the way to Italy.  The video Glass and Ceramic, relates to the text because they both talk about the materials needed to make glass and ceramic.  The book says there are several different shapes glass can become and the video shows us how reheating the glass can make it more flexible and easier to shape.  The video Installation Art related to the text because it basically showed examples of what the book defines installation art to be.  The video gave us get picture of of some really  cool installation arts.

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the topics: Sculpture, Installation, and Craft?

I thought the film was helpful.  The helped  to add depth to my understanding of the topics by showing examples of each.  It helps to have a visual to compare the reading to.
