What was Michelangelo do when hired by the church to paint the Sistine Chapel?
It was the other way around. Michelangelo had to be persuaded and convinced to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo didn't like to paint and didn't considered himself a painter, he thought of himself as an sculptor. He agreed to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel because you just couldn't say no to the Pope. During the Renaissance times, the Pope was the most important and powerful person in the world.

What is the Sistine Chapel used for what is its purpose what do they do in there?
The Sistine Chapel takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV (1471-1484) who had the old Cappella Magna restored between 1477 and 1480. The Chapel is a Catholic church in which any Catholic rite like Mass, marriage, baptism may take place. In addition, the Conclave for the election of a new Pope is held in the Chapel. Pope John Paul II spoke of the Sistine Chapel: "Precisely here, in this sacred space, the Cardinals gather, awaiting the manifestation of the will of Christ with regard to the person of the Successor of St Peter. And here, in a spirit of obedience to Christ and trusting in his Mother, I accepted the election that sprung from the Conclave, declaring my readiness to serve the Church." http://vaticanart.net/painting-of-the-sistine-ceiling
What is the background for god and the angels on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?
Most of the background is a beautiful blue color. Michelangelo used a semi precious stone, Lapus Lazuli, to get that specific color. He crushed the stones into a powder which became the pigment for that color. To see it in person is overwhelming, it really is a heavenly blue.
How did Michelangelo have a lasting impact on the world?
I would say that he is remembered for his famous "David" statue. Its about 13 feet tall from the base to the tip of the head. It's a beautiful sculputre. We also know that David was a very mean, secretive person. Another work of Michelangelo is the ceiling of the Sistene Chapel. He painted the whole huge ceiling full of his interpretations of the Genesis. That's famous too.

There are no rules as to what can and what cannot be the subject of a mural. In churches and convents usually scenes from the Bible (Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel or Leonardo's Last Supper in Milan are just two examples out of hundreds. In a palace there can be mythological subjecs (Palazzo del Te in Manua) or scenes with the ruling family (Palazzo Ducale in Mantua). There can be tricks (Trompe l'oeils): an open door with person, painted on a blank wall (Villa Rotonda nr Vicenza), etc.
Who did Michelangelo make art for?
Michelangelo's vocation was sculpting. Perhaps his most famous sculpture was the David (Currently in Florence, Italy) and he is widely known for his painting the Sistine Chapel (in the Vatican, in Rome, Italy). Pope Julius II first commissioned Michelangelo to build his tomb, which was not completed and had only 1 of the 40 statues Michelangelo was to build. It was not done by the time the pope died. Before Julius II passed, though, he commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. He didn't want to paint it, because he was not a painter; he was a sculptor. He did it, though. It is painted with scenes from the Old and New Testament. It was considered innapropriate and there was much discrepancy over it, because it portraied nude figures in the Pope's private chapel. The Pope did not want to take it down, so it remains today, expressing human beauty. Later the Last Judgment was commissioned by Clement VII in the same room as the Sistine Chapel. It showed Jesus in His full glory, coming to earth to judge the living and the dead. Saints are depicted with symbols of their martyrdom, and St. Bartholomew holds Michelangelo's flayed skin. In a kind of whirlwind, the pure souls fly to heaven, while the damned souls are sent to Hell, with expressions of pure terror and fear written plainly on their faces. He also painted his "enemy" in the corner of the painting as a kind of devil. Michelangelo claims the figure is helping to judge the souls, but I personally think he was getting back at the guy. I hope this helped. Source(s) I'm doing a research paper on him.
How did Pope Benedict XVI get chosen?
All the cardinals under age 80 gather in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican for a secret conclave. They pray, they talk and they cast ballots. Once a person has 2/3 of the votes, he is asked if he accepts the position of pope. If he says yes, he is declared to be the new pope.
