Video Review

Sculpture Video
One of the key concepts from the video was you should plan and sketch exactly what you see in your head when making a sculpture.  Marble was also another topic.  The video talked about the amount of time that goes into making a marble sculpture.  It takes a long time to complete a marble sculpture.  Sculptures can also be made using different materials such as; wood, clay, stone, or marble.

Glass and Ceramics Video
The art of glassblowing was a topic in the video.  I found this topic interesting because I knew little about glassblowing.  The video explained how glassblowing is formed from sand.  The sand is turned into a liquid, followed by being put on a stick.  The process of blowing happens in the stick.  I found this cool to know.  I knew a little bit about ceramics prior to the video.  I knew one of the concepts from the video that plaster has to be molded and the clay is mixed.  However, I did not know that the clay is mixed with quartz.

Installation Art Video
In the video people were asked what installment art was.  Each person had their own definition.  Overall Installation art refers to space and sculptures.  Installation art is everywhere.  It seemed to be a controversial topic in the video.

These videos relate to the reading in the text because they touched on the key concepts that were in the book.  The videos elaborated on what was read in the text.  It also helped to give a visual on what we read in the book.  It basically helped bring the book to life and make the concepts easier to understand.  Glassblowing can be considered a craft.  Sculpting was also mentioned in the book.  Installation art is unique and interesting to learn about.

The videos were good.  They were still a little long but really elaborated on the topics.  They gave a good understanding on what sculpting is, glass and ceramics, and Installation art.  I found installation art to be interesting and I was interested in the controversy behind it.  It also made me realize how installation art is all around us.  I learned many more things about sculpting such as how heavy the marble sculptures are and how long they take to make.  I also enjoyed watching Emmanual sculpt, it was amazing to see how good it was.  I also learned how glassblowing occurs and ceramics are made.  I enjoyed watching the videos and relating them to my environment.
