Sculpting, Ceramics and Art

1) There are many different textures in which you can do scuplture. All types of stone or rock, clay and wood. Sculpting takes time and precision along with a lot of discipline in order to get it done. Glass is everywhere, the glasses you wear, the glass you drink out of, and the glass of your windows at home or in your car. Ceramics can be used for everything. I never knew that ceramics were used in medical procedures in prosthetics. In the Installation Art video they asked several people what there definition of Installation Art was. Each person had a different answer. Each person said something different but what I gathered from them was that its art that takes up space rather than a two dimensional piece when drawing. I found this very interesting and actually quite cool and very unique.

2) The videos relate to the readings because they both show the many ways to do each form of art. Sculpting can be done with many different forms of material, glass cane be made into hundreds and hundreds of things and Installation Art is just a very unique and different form of art a lot of artists art starting to use.

3) I enjoyed the films. They helped me understand each topic more. I never realized there was so many different materials that could be used when sculpting, and the thought of Installation Art seems really cool and I think I would actually like to see more of that form in person.
