Installation Art
The key concepts I learned is installation art defines space, something all around you, some installations can be seen from miles away others are invisible, give audience the chance to interact with art work or space.
Glass and Ceramics
The key concepts I learned is how glass are first made,  the use of clay and the temperature in which they are made.
Through the Eyes of the Sculptor
The key concepts I learned is how clay and plaster are used to create a sculptor, the artist sketch his or her art before carving. it requires skills, knowing the proper stone to begin the sculptor. Mable stone are mostly used.

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?

 The video related to the reading in the text in a way that it educate us on different type of arts and explaining how such art is relevant and the purpose of the artist which in installation art is to give audience the chance to interact with art work or space.
