Video Review

In the first video about sculpting, I learned about the intricate process sculptors endure to even create one complete sculpture. I thought it was very thorough for the sculptor to create a clay model, then a negative silicone, then a plaster model, until finally a limestone model. I think This progression of mediums and step-by-step treatment indicates a lot of patience and dedication in the sculptor. I think this also represents the sophisticated focus and techniques the sculptor has applied  in order to produce such complex piece of art. I also learned just how dangerous collecting limestone from a deposit can be, using heavy machinery and forklifts to collect blocks of limestone

In the second video, I learned a similar concept. Only with glass instead. I did not realize that so many fine details went into creating ceramic products and glaze finishes. I would also say I even developed a new appreciation for glass. I always knew that glass was not a quick and simple thing to create. But things become even more complex when you look into the processes of other types of glass such as tempered glass. Tempered glass is heated to about 620 degrees farenheit and then rapidly air-cooled to give it an internal shock and weaken its' molecular structure.
