Michelangelo: Master Artist

"Speak to me!" - This is exactly what Michelangelo, one of the greatest artists ever, said as he chipped away at the marble block before him. "What did he mean?" That's a question we ask in this issue of CALLIOPE, and you're sure to be fascinated by the answer! We had lots of fun getting this answer - and, actually, the answer has many parts to it. So, join us as we check out the blocks of marble brought to him for his many projects, walk the scaffolding in the Sistine Chapel with the master, help mix the paints to get all just right, and then listen to his poetry! Energy and determination were his middle names - so make sure both of yours are high to keep up! And, to help you get to know him even better, we've included a play and a bit about the jokes he enjoyed making. Sure, you've heard his name many times, but what else can you say about him? Lost for words? You won't be after you've read this issue. He's sure to take a place at the top of your list of fascinating and wish-you-could-meet people!
