2 .  I felt that the readings from the textbook related to the videos and gave me a brief idea of the topics I would be learning about in the video. Then the video gave more in-depth information of each topic. In example, the textbook talked about the different materials used when making a sculpture in the video I got to see those exact materials used however, through the video I got to see what it looks like the title it has during the process of making a piece of work.

I felt that the first two films “Through the Eyes of the Sculptor” and “Glass and Ceramics” were the most interesting because the videos were able to grab my attention. I also felt that those two videos were had a lot content in it as well. On the other hand, the last video wasn't intriguing and less amusing in comparison to the other two videos. Overall, these videos add depth to my understanding because I get to see how the tools described in the textbook are used.
