1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.  The most important thing that I learned about sculpting was that the artist usually cast their art in plaster before they start the actual project.  I have always enjoyed participating in ceramics, but glass blowing was something I had never witnessed until we took a trip to Disney.  The artist was so intrigued in his work and used very few tools other than fire and glass.  After watching, the film I have to admit that I did not know what glass was made from.  Who knew I was stepping on glass every time I walked on the beach.  Installation art was a concept I had a hard time classifying as art, but like everything in art it is subjective. 
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?  The videos relate to the reading in that we learned about sculpting, crafts, and installation art.  As always, I preferred the video to the reading because it gives great examples of the different processes. 
3. I thought the films were all great!  My favorite film was the sculpture film, which followed around a French sculpture and depicted the process of sculpting.  I had a hard time grasping how these artists were able to create such beautiful pieces of art.  I found it very interesting that sculptures must train for many years in order to attain a level of master.
