Virtual tour of Sistine chapel

I actually saw this before, I think it's awesome to be able to have a clear 360 view of the chapel. I wish I noticed all those detail when I was actually there though. I was staring at my computer screen when I positioned it to the ceiling and I was just thinking about how pretty it was:) HAHA that is all.

Michelangelo and da Vinci

I always find it interesting when I learn about these feuds between these famous artists.
Anyways though, I though this handout was really interesting, it told the story behind "the ceiling" it was also cool because I saw the chapel a few years ago. Obviously I didn't know anything about it and didn't really care or appreciate anything hahahaha. I always find it comforting though to learn that these amazing artists struggled more than most artists today (my opinion) and face human things such as jealousy, stress, and failure. I wish I knew the time period better though so I could better understand how they might have felt. I also want to learn how to paint with Fresco! I'm pretty sure I'd hate it...

(more to come)
