I wasn't able to attend the Renaissance Fair, because I was in Italy for the third week of school. I had so... many absences that I decided to stay at school. Instead I am going to talk about the artwork above which is in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican. This is a photograph of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangleo. Michelangelo was asked by a king to paint the whole ceiling, and it was at the end of his career. He had to paint with his neck looking up for eight hours a day. When Michelangelo painted the ceiling he used depth and perception which was knew to that time period. He did such a great job of that, that when your in the chapel it looks as if they are tiles. Michelangelo painted each angle nude, which was normal to that time period. After he had died a number of Michelangelo's students were asked to paint over the nude parts of the angels. If anyone has the opprutunity to visit Rome, they have so much art, music, and culture. Rome was an increadable educational experience as well as a fun time.
