2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text? The Videos expand on the ideas in the text. By following the lives of real life artists it brings the information in the textbook to life- giving it a name and a personality. This makes the textbook information easier to understand.
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the topics: Sculpture, Installation, and Craft? I enjoyed the films, especially the one of Craft. I don't think many people have a deep appreciation for craft and this video really helped me to understand how much work goes into creating everyday things that we take for granted. I also though Emmanuel Fillion story was extremely interesting. It amazes me that he goes all the way to Italy for his marble.
