Video Reviews

1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

For the video Through the Eyes of  a Sculptor, it was incredible to see all that goes into sculpting and creating sculptures. There’s an incredible amount of little details to be considered as well as many steps to take – like first you need to sketch and figure out the materials before going into the carving/shaping/assembling.  In the video Glass and Ceramics I was particularly intrigued because I find glassworks and pottery so interesting. Surprisingly I knew a lot of what they talked about, but I think the key concept was the different steps, such as incinerating sand and stone and spinning and twisting them in incredible heat.

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

Both videos related to the text in that they discussed the different ways to sculpt/make glassworks and all the different types and methods. The videos went a little more in depth, and I felt the reading and the videos both built off of each other well and when paired really helped me understand more.

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

As I mentioned previously, I enjoyed how the videos gave a more in depth, visual pairing with the information presented in the text. I found them very interesting and informative.
