lecture from friday

Sunday, October 18, 2009

on friday afternoon i attend possibility the most interesting lecture i've ever attended in nottingham trent! haha, pretty fell asleep in every class with chris brown. don't worry this post will be quite short! won't be an entire "lecture note" lenght.

Michelangelo, a renaissance scupltor and art. he was often known as "The Divine" one during his lifetime. but what really caught was when he was painting/scuplting/whatever the Sistine Chapel, he did everything himself - literally everything adding on in a quick time. he was done in 18 months. but was amazed me was when he was on his final "check-up" on the Sistine Chapel work, he literally scraped away everything, and ruined all his hardwork. when asked by Pop Julius the Second, he simply said ,"it just wasn't good enough." therefore he redid the whole Sistine Chapel until it reached his satisfaction.

the point of that was as an artist, he was a man who suffered for his art (he had pernament eye damage and a weak back after the Sistine Chapel) a man with the "divine spirit" - simply a genius. he has something, and could see something and feel something that no one else could. he had the driving force that made him being beyond anything else.

i want to be that person, that person whose a "genius" who has a driving force that no one else could imagine. right now though life is a bit hard for me, but i'm adapting to it cause i know in the end of the day, everything single hardwork i put into it will be reward in the end of the day (: x
