week 6 blogg review

In the first video “Through the Eyes of the Sculptor,” I got a chance to see how long of a process it is to create an incredible piece of art. From watching this video,  I learned they way they made sure that stones were useful, they would use a certain tacttic, such as knocking on them to make sure that they would not break. Also, many sculptures take form in marble, clay, and stone. 

In the second video “Glass and Ceramics”, The most two traditional glass-making techniques are glass blowing and stained glass windows. Glass is made from sand, it is set in fire with other components. Lastly, glass windows and how certain colors are used to make sure it portrays light. It is started off with a small outline of it then into a huge sketch, then numbers. I found it very interesting.
 
In the last video “Installation Art” Installation of art and the examples of what elements are used to represent this. The installation of art is anything that takes up space and defines the space. It is one of the most popular things to do and it all depends on what the artist wants to do.

The videos really did relate to the chapters in the book. Because the book was an introduction to what we would be learning for the week. However, All three of these videos illustrated the information in more depth. For example, the book explained the different materials used when making a sculpture in a video.

The first two films “Through the Eyes of the Sculptor” and “Glass and Ceramics” were the best for the fact that it was entertaining. It showed the most information and it was a learning experience. On the other hand, the last video was a bore, it pretty much put me to sleep. All the videos explained a lot more then what the book did. So it was better.
