1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
- Through the Eyes: The main topics of this video discuss the process of creating a marble sculpture and what the artist does during the process. One detail from the video is the concept of leaving bridges in small parts, like fingers, to help prevent breakage in shipping. The process starts off with a sketch, then to make a smaller model in clay to include as much detail as they can. Then comes making a mold of the clay model out of plaster and silicone, and splitting that so a solid plaster model can be made. The process continues on to a finished marble sculpture, but the process of making the sculpture is specific and every step is important as the next.
- Glass and Ceramics: The video shows the process of how glass and clay are created and the process it is used to create a sculpture. Glass starts from sand, is heated, and turns to liquid, where other materials are mixed. The glass is then blown to create the shape. The video also states the process of making stained glass. Ceramics on the other hand is clay that's heated to a specific temperature. Mixes of specific clays are mixed, shaped, fired, and hen glazed.
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
- The videos relate to the book in a way which they both break down the process of making specific sculptures, what materials are used. The histories that go with each medium and sculpture and they both also include details to specific works of art.
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the topics: Sculpture, Installation, and Craft?
- I think that both videos are interesting and very factual about how to make the specific sculptures. I enjoyed both, it was cool to see the process. Both videos in detail explain the entire process on how to make marble, glass, and ceramic sculptures while showing and explaining in detail.
