Standing in the shoes of Leonardo or Michelangelo for a week enlightened our group to the talent and practice required to achieve such level of artistry. While our own projects may seem fairly simple works of art, it took all of us time and fore thought to compose our required pieces. Sharing our project achievements and tribulations, as well as our opinions on "painter vs sculptor," took place in a paragone discussion. The paragone contained a variety of opinions concerning the superiority of one artist over the other. We all acknowledged the benefits and disadvantages of each artist. With the help of the paragone, we concluded our own projects had influenced most of our opinions. No agreements were made as to who was the greater artist, the painter or the sculptor.
Excitement in the air,
Leonardo and Michelangelo beware.
Cutting tools in hand,
Sketch pad on a stand.
One must be in the round,
The other needs background.
Scientific method
Aerial perspective.
Frustration taking place,
Worry on our face..
Starting to see lines,
Light begins to shine
Drawing and sculpting shape,
Now, nurses can create!

Great job all!
