Module Six - Blog: Video Review



1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
The key concepts that I've learned were geometric shapes, a plan to do the sculpture (Through the eyes of the sculptor)
The key concepts that I've learned were leaded glass, laminated glass and double-paned glass (Glass and Ceramics) 

The key concepts that I've learned were, installation art, video imagery and pop-up art.  (Installation art)


2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
For the video on through the eyes of the sculptor, the video relate to the readings by using the technique called "contrapposto" which means that the body of the sculpture is shaped in a gentle "S" shaped curve. For the video on glass and ceramics, the video relates to the readings by explaining the definition of what stained glass is which means a technique used for windows, lampshades and similar structure  that permit light to pass into small pieces, then fitting the pieces together to form a pattern. For the video on installation art, the video relates to the readings by giving us a definition of what installation art is and gives us an example of what it is (such as the artist Richard Wilson).

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the topics: Sculpture, Installation, and Craft?
For the video on through the eyes of the sculptor, my opinion on this video is that the artist named Emmanuel Fillion has done an excellent job on this sculpture; they give depth to understanding the topics by going step by step on how Mr. Fillion has done this sculpture. In my opinion, for the video on glass and ceramics, they creator of this video did a good ob explaining the process of how to make the materials for making ceramics. My opinion on the Installation arts video is that it did a good job describing what installation and pop-up art is and video imagery.
