Who Was Michelangelo?
Painter, sculptor, architect and poet Michelangelo is considered one of the most talented artists of the Italian Renaissance, with works including the "David" and "Pieta" statues and the ceiling paintings of Rome's Sistine Chapel, including the "Last Judgment." Michelangelo's Paintings Sistine Chapel- Pope Julius II asked Michelangelo to switch from sculpting to painting to decorate the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, which the artist revealed on October 31, 1512. The project fueled Michelangelo’s imagination, and the original plan for 12 apostles morphed into more than 300 figures on the ceiling of the sacred space. (The work later had to be completely removed soon after due to an infectious fungus in the plaster, then recreated.) Michelangelo fired all of his assistants, whom he deemed inept, and completed the 65-foot ceiling alone, spending endless hours on his back and guarding the project jealously until completion. Here we are trying to recreate the work of Michelangelo..We used our tables to pretend it was the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Following our work on Mount Vesuvius and the city of Pompeii we decided to make our own volcano.Using the combination of vinegar and baking soda and a drop of food colouring our volcano began to erupt just like Mount Vesuvius.
