Module 6 - Video Reviews


1.    For each video discuss the key concepts you learned?

          In the video Through the Eyes of the Sculptor I learned that many sculptors because carvers before they because sculptors because of there love for stone. It is very important for an artist to know who they really are, so most artists leave there home countries so they can find out what there culture is truly about. A sculptor must use there use of feelings to carve meaning into the shapes.
In the video Glass and Ceramics teaches the process to blowing glass and the materials used to make this glass come out so perfect. The video also talks about how stained glass windows have very strong stories or meaning to tell in each window. It also talks about the process of ceramics and how each step is built off of raw materials

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

          The videos relate to the text because they are going in depth with the process of sculptures and how they are formed and there purpose. The artists in the videos take the time to show the audience exactly how things are made and how important each part to the process is. The second video teaches the process of glass sculptures which is part of the fine arts that we learning about in our text for the assignment chapters.

3.    What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understand of the topics: sculpture, installation, and craft?

            In my opinion Through the Eyes of the Sculptor was a very good video to grasp my understanding of sculptures and the process that sculptors go through when building or carving there stones. I learned that all sculptures have meanings even if they are the sculptures that are located on the sides of buildings. The second video Glass and Ceramics teaches the installation process for stained glass windows and how the led technique is important to making the windows. All of these different forms of glass are fine arts that have very delicate looks to them.
