1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

A couple key concepts learned in watching the video "Through the Eyes of the Sculptor" was understanding sculpture work can take quite some time to get done. It requires patience. Checking to see if a sculptor block is good before they start carving it is important, before it is started it is a square. You tap on it with a tool and listen for the sound and make sure you do not hear an odd sound which would echo through and let you know their is a crack and it is no good.. He works on more then one piece at a time to keep his ideas fresh. Each sculptor is created carefully making sure it will stable enough to hold up. Also, searching for marble also can require a lot of patience to find the perfect piece. It is interesting. I absolutely love marble! It is broken down that sculptures are created with clay, dies in plaster, and is reborn in marble. 

Key concepts learned in watching the video "Glass and Ceramics" was realizing glass is everywhere. Glass is made from sand, but its properties are much different from sand. Ceramics are made with a clay base. Heated at high temperature they both can break but it also can give both pieces its hardness. Today glass windows have expanded and been made to many number of needs which gives us every reason to feel more safe, provides us to be able to not hear much, windows not get shattered or etc. Glass is slowly replacing stone. 

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

The videos relate to the readings simply because the readings go into quite some detail and break down each craft discussed in the videos as well. It was nice to see the steps but it also was nice to see a ton of work by looking at all of the pictures that was on side of the readings. 

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the topics: Sculpture, Installation, and Craft?

My opinion of the films would be that they add depth to understanding sculpture, installation, and craft by showing us steps and providing detailed information from the eye of artist to help us better understand the process of creating art work. It requires a ton of brainstorming, sketching, and picturing work before any craft is created.
