Painting Like Michelangelo

This was a really fun lesson, the kids had a blast. We began by reading a short biography on famous artist Michelangelo. We talked about and saw copies of his famous paintings. Then we talked about the ceiling of the Sistene Chapel and what it must have been like to lay on his back and paint for hours and hours, day after day, for two years.


Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists: Michelangelo


After discussion, the kids got to try it out! I wish I could show you the photos I took of the students with drops of paint all over their faces!


Painting the Sistene Chapel!


How did your arm feel after 10 minutes? 20 minutes?
