1.         For the first video there were a lot of key concepts about sculptures and how they create their work. I learned that the creation process of a sculpture includes clay, bronze, limestone, and marble. There are multiple different ways an artist can go about making their sculpture, but they cannot put their ideas to life if they cannot imagine it in their head. The sculptures start off with the idea and they get put on paper and the process goes on from there. For the second video, I learned about the creation of glass. The video went over the process of mixing the glass, how it is blown, shaped, hardened, and reheated. The color and design is very precise in glass. The different tools were discussed along with techniques artists use.  

2.         The videos relate directly to the reading in the text because they both go over different forms of 3d art. Along with talking about clay and glass, the text focus’ on carving, the creation of human figures in sculptures, working with time and place, metal, wood, and fiber. The text goes into detail on how each of these elements works and showcases different artists work in that field. It was interesting to see other examples besides clay and glass and learn the history behind them.


3.         3.The artists add depth to the topics of sculpture, installation, and craft by going through the in depth process that is unknown to most people. Before watching these videos, I did not know about any of these processes but now I am educated about them. The ideas in these artists’ minds need to be formed into the final product. My opinion of the videos was positive because I was very informed with material I did not know about. The videos truly made me understand what exactly goes into the modeling of glass and clay.
