Students in AP World History began studying The Renaissance period last week and began gaining appreciation for the many works of art were completed during that time. One of the activities had the students attempting to paint Michelangelo's scene of evolution on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Students were shown a picture of the scene and then attempted to draw it -- while laying on their backs with their canvas taped to the bottom of their desk. This gave them just a small sample of how Michelangelo felt when he created his masterpiece at the age of 70, while lying on his back
