"Michelangelo, Creation of Adam"


Man and god are close

A touch away

With their figures similar, their fixation on each other is high

As man is interested in god

God is interested in man

God gave life to man and placed him on Earth

As man does God's work with time 


Looking at this piece of art from a golden age in time, during the Renaissance, the"Creation of Adam", by Michelangelo. This piece of art shows heavy on the creation of the first ones, Adam and Eve, being made into existence by god. Since the gods wanted something to observe and look over, they made beings that could expand and grow over time, have families, and all since they were limited to such things. Humans were made to live, create families, serve their purpose on the world made and given to them, then return it when they die. Gods were always interested in looking into humans and how they were, acted, and how are with others, how families were made and raised, and how time just keeps on moving forward, with new and older people. Although not only gods are interested in humans are interested in gods as well. As humans tend to grow, some go //c,.vb worship these gods, depending on what they give or offer, this painting shows that Adam does take interest in god, as well as god taking interest in him. Michelangelo captured this very well, the posture and look of Adam as he gazes into the gods that had created him and placed him into the world we live in. During the time of the Renaissance, it was a great time to make art and technological advancements in what people, see, think, and perceive. Many artworks of humans and gods were made and portrayed, showing growth and development.

  Abstract Art comes in endless forms. To make something from nothing into what we can see in reality is quite impressive. Personally, it is one of my favorite types of art to do because it allows me to bring out inner creativity, with a lot of trial and error to make your perfect piece, of course! It reminds me of music in a way. With music, you start with nothing, no shape, environment, and you have to make it all yourself or others. To me, music can be considered abstract art. As for actual abstract art, the look, feeling, and color patterns matter a lot, and it does also depend on the tastes of a person who judges abstract art. The reason is that everyone has their preferences and thoughts, especially if they don't understand the abstract art presented to them. I wouldn't know how to feel if given an abstract art I had no understanding of. I probably would ask to get a better idea of what the artist was trying to create. As for abstract art texture, I like physical and aest...
