1. In "Through the Eyes of a Sculpture" I learned that making a sculpture is a long, painstaking process. It requires time, patience and planning from beginning to the end. The sculpture usually starts with a sketch, then they make it with clay, and then a plaster cast. There is a lot of research that goes into these sculptures, it's not like the artist just threw something together or picked an idea out of a hat.
In "In Glass and Ceramics" I thought it was interesting to learn that ceramic materials can be stronger than steel. This kind of art correlates with the field of science. I never knew that glass is a type of liquid composed of silicon dioxide or sand. Essentially, the medium of glass is not restricted to the artist, but is a field of scientific development.
"Installation Art" taught me that it is any 3-d artwork that defines the space and forces the viewer to interact with it. Anything can be art depending on how the viewer is looking at it.
2. Like the videos, our readings discuss sculptures, ceramics or crafts, and installation art. However, the videos add a little more understanding of these topics because they go into more detail. The videos also show examples of things the book talks about.
3. My favorite video was the "Installation Art" video. It really gave me a lot more insight to what it really is. It also gave me inspiration and some ideas for the project. "Through the Eyes of the Sculptor" made me appreciate sculpture a lot more. I never realized how much more work goes into a sculpture. "In Glass and Ceramics" was my least favorite because it had to do with science. It broadened my horizons but was not very interesting to me.
