Video Reviews

The first video, Through the Eyes of the Sculptor talks about Michelangelo's impact on culture in Italy. Emmanuel Fillion talks about creating new work and how he has been creating sculptures since he was a little boy. Fillion first sketches his designs in clay then begins to sculpt. He chooses to work on a marble surface that will become flawless in the end. In the second video, Glass and Ceramics, it talks about how glass is heated and turned in to a liquid then the artist creates the shape they want it. Also how laminated glass is used in schools and sports arenas. The next video, Installation Art explains how this trend manipulates the space and sends the viewer to observe three-dimensional spaces in a completely different way. Also very interesting is Mike Nelson's Coral Reef. These videos relate to the text because they all explain different ways to make artwork.  I think these videos are very educating as far as what Sculpture, Installation and Craft are.  I now understand how the glass is actually shaped for the artist to use. Also that installation art is art that can define a space if the artist's choosing. Another thing I learned with the Sculpture video is that different artists can be a specialist in a specific area when carving sculptures such as a specialist for only hair, drapes or the shape of the face.
