Module 6- Sculpture and Ceramic Video Review

1. The first video The Eye of the Sculpture this went through the process of the rigorous of being a master sculpture. The concepts that were talked about were the following,sculptures/carvers . Sculpture is developed by clay and put through a process to become a finished product. Many of the individuals said it took them years just to finish one project. This is because they work on more than one at the same time to get fresh ideas from each piece. Sculpting originated from 17th century and is most common in Italy.
The second video glass and ceramics the concepts were just those. Glass is made out of refined sand and other raw materials added to take it hard solid shape. It was used for many things, such as stain glass in the church window which are still there today and for numerous other things of today's time. Ceramics like glass comes to existence with fire. Unlike glass this is made from clay like in the first video. This is a very long process. Clay is used to make a putty called slip, water, clay and raw materials.

2. The videos relate to the text as in both chapters 11 and 12 it states the history, process and useful ways in which carvers and ceramics are used in history and now.

3. My opinion on the videos these really did add more to the description of sculpting and crafts. I learned that the process of making even the mold could take years to develop. Sculpting is not a craft it really is an art, you need to have an open mind to everything.
