I chose to only watch female artists because art has been a male-dominated field.  The first artist I watched was Diana Al-Hadid and it was really interesting to me how the video was narrated by a story that inspired her work.  She talked about how much she loved stories but says: “There’s a part of me that kind of resists that kind of specificity.”  That really stood out to me because I felt like it was key to her method of creating art.  In other videos I watched I noted a connection between the artist and the material.  Sculpture is a very physically connecting type of art.  Though you create physical works in painting and drawing and printmaking, sculpture is the only one where you have such a deep connection to the piece.  Since it is three-dimensional you’re really in touch with the materials therefore the final work.
