This lesson looks at The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo and the influences that may have influenced his painting. The reading pays special attention to a new theory that God is painted with the backdrop of a atomically correct human brain. It also mentions other influential theories and ideas within the painting as well. Here is what is in the resource: A one page read on the history of The Creation of Adam painting and the theories that influenced its design. A worksheet that looks at the influences of Michelangelo with several questions and pictures. I have made a copy in color as well as black and white for the packet. The resource is in a PDF as well as a Word Doc if you need to edit it.
