  1. David By: Michelangelo

  2. Background Info • This sculpture was began and finished during the Renaissance Era.(1501-1504) • This sculpture was paid for by the city of Florence and as well as the city wanting it; the citizens loved it. • The man portrayed is David right before his encounter with Goliath.

  3. What is the “eye catcher”? • What grabs your attention and why?

  4. My “eye catcher” • The fact he is nude really grabs my attention. • In todays times, we find beauty in things beyond the natural aspect. During the Renaissance, people found beauty in the Human body alone.

  5. What assertion is being made? • Tell me why Michelangelo chose to sculpt this particular man and why he did it the way in which he did.

  6. The True Assertion • Michelangelo is asserting the beauty of the natural man. Perfectly defined face, chest, arms, abs, and legs.

  7. Ethos, pathos, and Logos?

  8. Ethos, pathos, and logos? • Ethos- This is made credible by being created by Michelangelo. He is a well known and highly regarded artist even today. • Pathos- In the Renaissance, when created, the emotional appeal was to provide a heart felt beauty and a regard to happiness. • Logos- A logical appeal created by the sculpture would be that all man is naturally beautiful.

  9. Techniques used?

  10. Techniques used • Michelangelo uses great detail. • He perfects the body of David.
