Glass and Cermaics & Through the Eyes of the Scuptor Videos.

        In the Glass and Ceramics video, I learned that ceramics material is stronger than steel and they capable of withstanding high temperatures. What was most interesting about the video was the learning the process of making glass. To make leaded glass, the glazier makes a small-scale model first and then in the final process, the cut glass pieces are than fastened together with channeled lead strips. In the Through the Eyes of the Sculptor video, it was interesting to be able to learn the processes of building a sculpture. What was interesting was how Fillion created a piece from a figurative clay model to a life size marble sculpture. As well learning about the traditions of “artigiano” was interesting; generations of artists craving each other’s work, which I believe brings diversity, unity and more meaning.

        Both videos related to the reading because the one of the video described how glass and ceramics are formed, the material used to make them and their characteristics. The other video was related to the reading because it illustrated the different construction of architecture.

         Both films added depth to the topics of sculptures, installation and craft. The text was not as descriptive as the video, for example, the text was most based on how Western thought about how art has changed and been challenged in the centuries before fine art was born. The video was mainly based on the process of creating the art.
