Too Much Time on Your Hands?

Bored? Looking for something to entertain yourselves? Why don't you pick on these clowns, and leave me alone!

I Heart Art

Seeing as I said I wouldn't post about my students/school experiences, and also seeing how that has left me postless for quite sometime, I will instead share some things I've learned in my class. We have been comparing/contrasting Classical, Medieval and Renaissance art for the past week, and I really have started to love it!

I really like a lot of it, but I am fascinated with works by Michelangelo. They are amazing!

My favorite of favorites, that I cannot wait to see when we go to Europe, which I anticipate will draw a tear or two.... drumroll please.... Michelangelo's Pieta.



Running a very close and beautiful second... The David. There are no words.


Finally, I debated whether to go with another of his sculptures, but then opted to appreciate the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel.


Hopefully this will suffice as a post. I know it's not much but I am pretty narrowly focused these days. I'd love to hear if you have any favorite pieces from this or any other time.
