What equipment do you need to sculpt?
To sculpt, you'll need basic tools such as chisels, a hammer, and a modeling knife for carving, as well as flexible tools like spatulas and loops for finer details. Depending on the medium, you may also require clay, stone, or metal, along with a sturdy work surface. Additional items like a wire cutter, a rasp, and safety gear such as gloves and goggles may also be beneficial for specific materials and techniques.

David is not painted. He is only the original clay that was used to sculpy him. I have had the opportunity to see David and if your ever in Florence I would highly recommend seeing this work of art! Answer 2: Well, he may have been sketched in clay, but the finished statue is pure marble.
David Geffen was an advocate for what movement?
David Geffen ultimately became one of the most important forces in the gay rights movement, accepting numerous accolades and honorariums and becoming a loud voice in the fight against AIDS.
Are modern day channellers con artists?
See the Related Links for "Chanelling" to the bottom for the answer. I don't really think so. The responsibility is still ours to prove the validity of any information we take in by checking it out through our experiences. I suspect that most channellers have the intention to aid others in what they are doing. I don't personally know any. The wisest man I ever met warned that, just because someone is not currently in the physical doesn't mean that they know any more than you do. He was probably one of the most highly developed on this planet. Depends. Most who participate in these occult practices are authentic, however, it is the source of their power that is in question, not the validity. Some are out for money. Some are merely deceived into channeling demons not dead people.
What is the monument for Da vinci in santa croce florence?
There is a plaque inside the church, on the wall honoring Leonardo da Vinci.
Many famous Florentines were buried in Santa Croce: Michelangelo, Dante, Galileo, Ghiberti, etc... Leonardo is not buried there (he is buried in France) but the Florentines wanted to honor him so they put up a plaque in his memory.
They belonged to the Medici family. Leo's name was Giovanni, Clement's was Giulio.
No. Leonardo da Vinci believed on the supremacy of painting. Michelangelo believed that sculpture was the purest expression of art.
I think he was responding to inquiries about how or what inspired him to produce his work. I think also he was engaging in a little cynicism and hyperbole, perhaps being tired of the question. He may also have been alluding to Platonic Idealism. In any event, the statement makes more sense when looking at a finished piece rather than imagining an unsculpted stone. Once the Pieta was finished, for example, it is dreamy to contemplate the fact, and indeed it is a fact, that the sculpture was in a sense 'there' to uncover, from the moment that the marble took its final form in the earth. But I am sure that sculptors make certain decisions while in the process of sculpting; they do not imagine that they are forbidden to make 6 pleats in a draped garment instead of 7, when planning part of a piece that has not yet even been 'roughed out' of the stone.
Incidentally, I believe, unless this is myth, that the Pieta was sculpted from an unusually odd-shaped rough piece of marble. Certainly, Michelangelo would have had the thought, when seeing the stone, that it would accommodate the configuration that the stone inspired. But this would be as much a result of the way the stone fell out of the quarry as it was the result of the master's genius.
He also produced some nearly mystical pieces by leaving parts of them 'hidden' in roughed-out, unfinished stone. It is a brilliant device; as close to sculpting mist or cloud out of marble as you can get.
