Through the Eyes of the Sculptor

1. The key concepts that I learned in this video are that to be a good sculptor you really need to start at a very young age, it takes 5-7 people to create a sculpture, and sculptors will go to great lengths to get the right kind of marble like go to the corey themselves and get it. Sculpting is a passion and it takes a lot of patience and time to create. A fun fact that I learned and I find neat is that marble is 99.9% calcite carbonite and all pieces are reusable. Marble is grounded into powder and is used in food, paper, paint, cosmetics, toothpaste, and pharmacuticals. Makes me rethink what I eat or use. lol

2. The video relate to the reading because it showed the methods and materials of sculpting like modeling, casting, and carving.

3. I liked the video. It gave me a better understanding of sculpting. I learn better when I read and then I watch something. It just ties everything together. This video added depth because they went into the steps to become a sculptor , process on how they carve the sculptures, and how the sculptor picks there marble as well.

Glass and Ceramics

1. The key concepts that I learned from this video are is glass is everywhere in the world. Glass is made from sand. Glass protects us from light, noise and temperatures. Glass is used in architeture and in music. Glass buildings are new and being built everywhere in the world and they have aesthetic quality. For music glass walls help alter music to sound better or different. Also there are stain glass windows that help tell stories. There is all different kinds of glass to protect people like laminate glass and temper glass because if glass breaks it can harm you so with these different kinds of glass they either don't break or they break in tiny pieces so they can't hurt you. Ceramics are composed of clay, felsphar, and quartz. They are mixed with water to make vases or plates and then glazed to make shiny and water proof. There are many other purposes for ceramics like in cars, electricity, false teeth, and in the medical field.

2. The video relates to the reading because it just reinforces everything you read in the chapter and gives you  a better understanding when you watch the video. It makes more sense when you are actually watching people make it.

3. I like the video. It goes more into depth when you are watching step by step how glass and ceramics items are made.

 Installation Art

1. The key concepts that I have learned from this video is  installation art is what defines the space. Installaton art is about interaction and experience. It takes a long time to set up an installation piece. You can do so many different things with installation art like in the video they had a room filled with pokadots, a bedroom with people doing a pillow fighting, and videos on a wall with different pictures. Also with installation art there are sight specific installations where art cannot exist without that specific location like the artist that made a building the installation art and had a rotating window. That was neat but without that location the art would not exist.

2. The video related to the reading by giving the same definition of what installation art was. The video just gave a lot more examples of installation art to give you a better understanding of what it is and how to create it.

3. I liked this video because it gave you a better understanding of what installation art was and they told you how to create it. The examples they gave in the video I felt were better then in the book.
