MOTIVATION
Have you ever had to do a job you really didn’t want to do? Maybe you even got in an argument about it and stormed away angry. Did you end up doing the job anyway, because the person in charge, like a parent or teacher, insisted you do it? That is exactly what happened to our master artist when he was twenty-eight years old. Who would have had that much power over him as an adult? Click Start Lesson To Begin
DEVELOPMENT 1. POPE JULIUS II
Pope Julius was the powerful ruler of the church in Rome, and he heard about Michelangelo’s amazing talents. The Pope wanted to build beautiful churches and statues in Rome, so people would remember him. He tricked Michelangelo into moving to Rome to work as a sculptor. Sculpting was Michelangelo’s first love as an artist. But soon after Michelangelo began working, the Pope canceled the sculpture and forced him to begin a new project. That’s when the arguments began. Why? Click Next To Change Slide
2. SELF-PORTRAIT
Michelangelo considered himself a sculptor. He generally signed his letters and contracts for important works of painting as “Michelangelo the Sculptor.” Time and time again he spoke of his dislike for painting. He claimed it was NOT his profession. Can you guess what Pope Julius asked him to do? (PAINT)
Yes, the powerful Julius wanted and insisted that Michelangelo paint, because he was under contract. The artist argued, left town, tried everything he could to change the Pope’s mind. But Michelangelo finally gave in. The result was one of the most unique and famous works of art in the world. Let’s take a look. Click Next To Change Slide

3. & 4. SISTINE CHAPEL: VIEW TOWARDS ENTRANCE, SISTINE CHAPEL: VIEW TOWARDS ALTAR
This is the assignment forced upon Michelangelo. It is the huge ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. This ceiling occupied Michelangelo for four years. It was extremely hard work, and it left the artist exhausted. How do you paint such a giant, tall ceiling?
Try this so you can get some idea of what Michelangelo endured. Please stand up. Pretend you have climbed a very tall, steep ladder. You might even be feeling a bit dizzy when you reach the top, because you are more than sixty feet in the air! That’s like the height of three stories in a building. There’s a small, flat platform at the top where you can catch your breath and rest after such a long climb. Now, tilt your head back as far as it can go to look at the ceiling which is right above your head. Bend and arch your back so your head goes back even further. Raise your arm up holding a paintbrush. Try to hold this position as I tell you more. For the next four years, Michelangelo spent all his waking hours in this position. He even wrote a poem about it, illustrated with a little sketch. Click Next To Change Slide
5. SKETCH OF PAINTER
You can relax now and sit down. See if his sketch looked like your position. Is his back bent? (YES) Is his head back as far as it can go? (YES) He said “My paintbrush all the day doth drop a rich mosaic on my face.” Do you think he had a very colorful face by the end of each day? (YES) At night he was so exhausted that he would fall into bed with his clothes and boots on. And to make matters worse, the Pope was not good about paying him, and work was constantly interrupted due to lack of funds for supplies and assistants. There was a war going on, and Pope Julius was far away and out of contact.
Before Michelangelo climbed the ladder to begin work, he planned and prepared for six months. The ceiling has over 300 painted figures of people in scenes from the Bible. Once his general design was in order, he began sketching the individual scenes and figures in detail. He made 200-300 preliminary drawings. Sometimes he used live models, and other times he sculpted little figures out of wax and clay. Then he could study the light and shadows to make them realistic. But was he painting on canvas? (NO) It was a ceiling, so a special technique called fresco painting had to be learned. It was very tricky. His assistants would apply fresh plaster to a section of the ceiling where Michelangelo would paint for the day. He would paint right on the wet plaster, so it became a part of the ceiling itself. The tricky part was it could not be touched up after it dried. In a single day, Michelangelo had to completely finish all the work planned, or it dried and was spoiled, and he had to plaster over it and start again. Does it sound very stressful, complicated and really difficult? (YES!) Let’s look at a close-up figure from the Sistine Chapel.

6 .PROPHET JEREMIAH
This is the prophet Jeremiah. Can you pose like Jeremiah? Tell me how Jeremiah or you would be feeling if you were sitting like this. (SAD, THOUGHTFUL, DEPRESSED)
It is believed that Michelangelo used himself as a model for Jeremiah. Do you think this also shows Michelangelo’s emotional state? (YES) Notice Jeremiah’s physical size and strength - the powerful lines of his shoulders, arms, and heavy boots. Are his hands ones of pampered royalty or of a worker and doer? (WORKER) Is he in deep thought? (YES) Let’s take a close-up view. Click Next To Change Slide
7. DETAIL: PROPHET JEREMIAH
Find a realistic detail you notice and admire, and point it out in this close-up of Jeremiah. (HAND - VEINS, LINES, BONES, FINGERNAILS; FACE - WRINKLES, CREASES; LIGHT AND SHADOWS) What is the brightest part? (YELLOW SLEEVE) Now follow that highlight upwards along his hand, which leads our eye to his face. There we catch the full extent of his despair. Lost in bitterness, his head sunk on his hand, he gazes downward. Unlike resting his head on a closed fist, the artist extended the index finger. Do you think this reveals peace or unrest? (UNREST)
Remember, Jeremiah was just one of over 300 figures Michelangelo painted with such detail and realism. Was the Pope encouraging and supportive of this great artist whom he so badly wanted to paint the chapel ceiling? The Pope constantly pressured Michelangelo to hurry, hurry, and finish the huge ceiling. The Pope would show up unannounced, climb the ladders, and check on the progress.
Finally, Michelangelo said, with great relief, that it was ready to be shown to the world. Let’s look at one of most famous scenes of the ceiling, as the people so long ago did. They walked in, looked up in wonder, and saw this next scene. Michelangelo positioned it right in the center so it couldn’t be missed. Click Next To Change Slide
Notice the graceful but powerful hands reaching out to touch each other in such a dramatic way. These hands, representing the creation of mankind, have come to symbolize the

MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI – AGES 10 – ADULT | ONLINE EDITION
Sistine Chapel to people all over the world, beginning when Michelangelo first opened the chapel to the public.
At the unveiling, people came running from all corners of the earth. This great work stopped them in amazement. It left them wondering and lost for words. The Pope, his greatness fed by this success, rewarded Michelangelo with money and splendid presents. But what else was the artist left with? He ruined his eyesight to the extent that he could not read letters or look at drawings unless they were held high above his eyes. This lasted for several months. Michelangelo was left exhausted by this giant work. But through this difficult process, he became more deeply involved as the work proceeded. He grew enormously in his techniques and ideas. His paintings became more exciting, freer, with more movement and realism.
So even though he disliked painting and was forced into it by the Pope, few painters in the history of art can begin to come close to his mastery and vision which we see in the Sistine Chapel. Do you remember what kind of art Michelangelo preferred over painting? (SCULPTURE) Yes, he thought of himself as a sculptor first. Let’s enjoy three of his most famous sculptures.

14. DETAIL: DAVID
Michelangelo felt the human body was the most important subject an artist could sculpt or paint. He spent a lot of time studying nature and science to make his masterpieces as lifelike as possible. Unlike other artists of his time, he gave energy and strength to the people he sculpted.
He began sculpting as a teenager. His work was so beautiful that no one saw the work of a teenager but that of an admired, accomplished and well-practiced master. He was so talented that he was enrolled as a student in a sculptor's shop. Michelangelo entered the new and exciting world of an art school run by Lorenzo the Magnificent. Lorenzo was very powerful and rich. The young Michelangelo walked among beautiful gardens and palaces admiring ancient sculptures lining the garden walks and hallways of the palaces. He quickly surpassed both the quality and depth of feeling he saw. He sculpted this next masterpiece at the age of twenty-three. Click Next To Change Slide

15. PIETA
“Pieta” is the Italian word for pity. The face of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, shows her eyes downcast, almost shut. There is a quiet stillness in her expression, as she tried to accept the death of her son she is holding. Look closely at both her hands. With one she is supporting his lifeless, heavy body by spreading her fingers for a better grip. Notice the other hand. Show me its position with your hand. (PALM TURNED UPWARD, SUSPENDED) What does that gesture seem to be saying? (QUESTIONING, GRIEF, GIVING UP) The Pieta established Michelangelo as a master sculptor beyond comparison with any living artists. It was carved from a huge block of marble, but doesn’t it give the impression of softness? Point to where it looks “soft.” (FOLDS OF DRESS, SCARF) Does it look realistic? (YES)
It took the artist two years to finish the beautiful sculpture. When it was unveiled, people from all over Europe flocked to Rome. It was unanimously praised and admired. But the artist overheard a man informing an admiring crowd one day that the Pieta was the work of a certain artist from Milan - not Michelangelo who came from Florence. The following night, Michelangelo took his tools and in beautiful Roman letters he carved his name on the sculpture. Can you find his signature? (ON BAND THAT RUNS DIAGONALLY ACROSS MARY’S CHEST) Never again would anyone mistake his work for someone else’s! He carved these words: “Michelangelo Buonarroti (my-kel-AN-jel-loe bwoh-nah-ROE-tee) from Florence made this.” Let’s take a look at a close-up of Mary’s face, so lifelike and full of expression.

Enjoy the detail and softness Michelangelo managed to sculpt out of hard marble to create such beauty. Now let’s turn from gentleness to power. Click Next To Change Slide 17. MOSES
Raise your hand if this man looks very powerful. (YES) He looks so full of energy and life that you almost expect him to stand up and speak. Notice the details of his beard and clothing. Imagine creating those soft-looking folds with the sculptor’s tools of a chisel and hammer! Can you find the veins and muscles in his arms?
During his work painting the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo had imagined bringing those figures to three-dimensional life in a sculpture, which he did with Moses. It took him four years to carve this. Moses was the law-giver and receiver of the Ten Commandments on a tablet. Can you point them out? (UNDER HIS RIGHT ARM) He was the leader of his people, and the artist made him look important, commanding, and wise.

Let’s turn our attention now to a sculpture that started as such an enormous block of marble that it was affectionately named, “The Giant.” Click Next To Change Slide
18. GIANT BLOCK OF MARBLE
Not only was the block huge, but the amount of work, time, and danger involved in getting it out of a mountain and transporting it to the city was immense. The giant block had to be painstakingly hauled down the mountain by ropes and pulleys, transferred to an ox-drawn cart, and finally loaded on to a barge to be taken up the river to Florence. But that name, “giant,” took on another meaning very soon. Click Next To Change Slide
19. DAVID
There is a story in the Bible about a young man named David who goes to battle with an enemy soldier named Goliath. Goliath was renowned for being a huge______(GIANT). Guess who won the battle between David and Goliath? (DAVID) So Michelangelo took “The Giant” block of superb marble and sculpted it into David the hero. It is very large and nearly takes your breath away, as you gaze in wonder at the artist’s creation. It stands seventeen feet tall! Click Next To Change Slide
20. DETAIL: DAVID
David is astonishingly real, because Michelangelo knew his anatomy from studying the human body. Like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo spent hours in a hospital dissecting bodies. He studied muscles, veins, tendons—everything that would help him bring a body to life from a block of cold marble. Michelangelo shows David about to go to battle with Goliath. His face is intense with concentration, as he holds his only weapon over his shoulder - a slingshot. Could that be a frown with his eyebrows drawn down? He watches alertly with the loaded slingshot held lightly, as he gazes into the distance, waiting for Goliath to come within range.
Notice the beautiful details of his curly hair, the lines of his face, neck, and thumb. The model for the statue was a teenage boy in Florence. The city of Florence hired Michelangelo and built a shed around “The Giant” marble block so Michelangelo could work in privacy. He began in 1501 and finished it in 1504. Michelangelo was already famous for his Pieta. The David established him as the greatest sculptor in all of Italy. We’ve witnessed Michelangelo’s incredible skill as a painter of the Sistine Chapel, as an unsurpassed sculptor in the Pieta, Moses, and David. But his talents didn’t end there. For what else is he famous? Let’s take a look.

21. ST. PETER’S CHURCH
He is also famous as an architect! What does an architect do? (DESIGNS BUILDINGS) Michelangelo was seventy years old when Pope Paul appointed him chief architect of St. Peter’s in Rome. The monumental church had been started forty years before, and many architects had worked on the design and supervised the builders. But little had been accomplished. Michelangelo worked on St. Peter’s for the rest of his life. It was a huge undertaking, and finally at age eighty-two, the artist realized he would not live to see it completed.

22. ST. PETER’S DOME
So he built a model of the great dome, which he took particular interest in designing. It was still under construction when he died at age eighty-nine, but the builders had his model to direct them. St. Peter’s was the crowning achievement of his remarkable life. He refused to accept any payment for his seventeen years of work on the church. He said he did it for the “good of his soul.” Even at age eighty-nine, he visited the construction site every day to check on the progress. Let’s step inside this famous church and look at the interior of Michelangelo’s dome. Click Next To Change Slide
23. INTERIOR OF ST. PETER’S DOME
As you can see, it is richly decorated with colorful mosaics, with light pouring in from the windows to illuminate the whole center part of the huge cathedral. Click Next To Change Slide
24. RENAISSANCE
What was the world like in Michelangelo’s lifetime? Between 1300 and 1600, life in Europe was exciting. It was a new age of thinking, learning, and art. It is called the Renaissance, which means rebirth - a new beginning. Explorers set out to explore the New World, scientists were making new discoveries, and Michelangelo astonished the world with his unsurpassed artistic talents.

Step 2 - Learning From: Michelangelo Buonarroti
Michelangelo was one of the most famous architects of his time. When he designed a building, he started by drawing a picture, called a rendering. Every building must have a foundation or a floor. Michelangelo used bricks or blocks of stone to make the foundations of his buildings. Drawing Bricks Bricks must be staggered or overlapping each other for strength, to create a strong floor.
Draw vertical lines in these boxes to make bricks.
Michelangelo’s building designs were very realistic. They had highlights and shadows. The highlights happen when sunlight hits one side. The other side is in shadow.
Use a yellow crayon to make highlights and a purple or blue crayon to make shadows

ORIENTATION [ 2 minutes ] Michelangelo was a superb painter, sculptor, and architect. His last efforts went into designing the largest church in the world, St. Peters. Today you will be an architect, just like Michelangelo. You will design and construct your own Renaissance building.
Demonstration AND ACTIVITY
ORGANIZE YOUR WORK AREA [ 3 minutes ]
1.Set the large brown paper on the floor or out of the way. 2.Center the newsprint on the top of your desk like a placemat. 3.Put the manila papers in the center of the newsprint. 4.Place chalk on one side of the paper plate which should be set on one corner of your desk. 5.Put your paper towel next to your paper plate. 6.Lay the cotton ball and Q-tips on the paper towel. 7.Your artist profile slip, scissors, and glue can go on the other corner of your desk.
CREATING MARBLE [ 3 minutes ]
1.Use the edge side of the soft brown chalk to lightly cover the three pieces of manila. This is done very quickly! Keeping the brown chalk flat on its side, draw five “lightning bolt” lines going in different directions on each paper.
2.Repeat the “lightning bolt” lines with the soft white chalk on all three pieces.
3.Use the cotton ball to gently blend using strokes that flow in the direction of the first brown chalk lines. Look at the marble blocks you have created!
THE FOUNDATION [ 3 minutes ] 1.Fold the 4-1/2” x 12” piece of marble into fourths lengthwise. Open the paper and go over the lines with brown chalk. Set aside.
13 MICHElANGELO BUONARROTI– Ages 10 – Adult | MeetTheMasters Online Edition
MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI – AGES 10 – ADULT | ONLINE EDITION
2.Draw bricks on the four long rectangle folds of marble (enlarged below). Remember to alternate the vertical lines.
THE WALLS (COLUMNS) [7 minutes ]
1.Fold one 6” x 9” piece of marble paper in half widthwise, and in half again. Leave folded.
2.With the brown chalk, draw a column shape on the folded manila and then cut through the 4 thicknesses to make four columns the same shape. Encourage simplicity. Set aside. Examples of column designs:
THE DOME [ 7 minutes ] 1.Fold the remaining 6” x 9” manila piece in half widthwise.
2.Draw or free cut a half dome with the cente r of the top on the fold. When cutting, hold the fold. 3.Open and make four evenly-spaced marks across the bottom. Draw curved lines following the outside arc to make the sections of the dome.
14 MICHElANGELO BUONARROTI– Ages 10 – Adult | MeetTheMasters Online Edition
MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI – AGES 10 – ADULT | ONLINE EDITION
Cut
If the students are unhappy with the dome, they may refold it and cut a triangle instead.
PREPARE THE BACKGROUND [ 2 minutes ] Add texture to the large dark brown paper by placing it between open- fingered hands and squeezing fingers together to “warm” the paper. Move the hands around to slightly wrinkle the paper. Place paper flat and smooth out. Place the large brown paper vertically on your desk.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN [ 7 minutes ] 1.Begin the building with the foundation. Decide how many layers of brick floors there will be. Students may choose one, two, or three levels. These will be cut from the long folds of marbled brick. To create steps, each level should be slightly shorter than the one below.
2.The columns will sit on top of the floor and become the supports for the roof. Students may choose a composition which includes three or four columns. Glue the steps and columns down. Use the Q-tip to apply small amounts of glue. Encourage the students to leave some of the column unglued, so that it is free from the background and appears more three- dimensional.
3.The remaining long strip(s) are used to make the ceiling or header. This can be one to three rows high. The lengths can vary, although the bottom layer should cover all of the columns. Glue down.

SHADOW AND HIGHLIGHT [ 5 minutes ]
Choose the position of the sun. The highlight will be on one side of the column, the shadow on the opposite.
1.Dip one Q-tip in the dry yellow paint and apply it to the highlighted side of the columns. Use a vertical stroke.
2.Dip the other Q-tip in the dry purple paint to create shadows. Use the same application technique.
3.Put the shadows and highlights on the individual bricks and on the roof, overhang, and carved details.
4.Tap the edge of the brown paper onto the newsprint to shake off extra dry paint. Fold up the newsprint with the paint and scraps inside to discard.
MOUNTING THE ARTIST PROFILE SLIP [ 1 minute ]
(Profile slips for each artist are provided. They give a brief description of the artist, the technique, and the media used in the art activity. They should be mounted on the back of each art project after it is completed.)
1.Write your name on the front of the artist profile slip. 2.Using glue, mount the profile slip on the back of your artwork. 3.Encourage students to discuss their artwork at home using this artist slip of information.
