video review

Installation Art
Installation art is used to let viewers interact with art and experience the art. It invites them in and allows them to view the art in a different way than just two-dimensional. The video provides you with examples of many different installations over the years by different artists. Installation art is interesting because it has changed over the years. Technology has alloed it to open new doors by using digital and video in the exhibits. Installations can also be any size, shape, or form, which also makes them so interesting to see. The book goes along with the video in that it shows different artist's installations. It explains the importance of time and place to connect the artists' ideas, which is what makes the installations so unique. This film I thought was interesting. Installations I enjoy seeing and it really made me see how much time and effort goes into this type of art. What would be even more interesting is see all of the installations in person.

Through the Eyes of the Sculptor
The video shows the process of crating a sculpture. It shows different artists and different materials used to make sculptures. It goes through marble, clay, bronze and limestone. It also shows how you can carve different sculptures. It also interesting because it shows how the ideas are formed. This video also goes along with the text book because the textbook also talks about the different ways sculptures are made, including modeling and assembling. This video I thought was a bit dry because it was so much like the reading in the book.

Glass and Ceramics
This video shows how glass is made, both blown and making stained glass. It goes through the step by step process that glassblowers use to create art. It then goes through the process for staining glass and using different colors to make things such as windows. It then goes into talking about how ceramics are made and what materials go into ceramics. It also tell some of the uses of ceramics. All of these things are also explained in the book. I found this video interesting because I never realized how many everyday things ceramics are used by, such as medical uses.
