We'll learn a bit about Michelangelo before we get started creating. One of the things Michelangelo is famous for is painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. So we're going to create like him by drawing or painting on a "ceiling" by getting underneath our tables and chairs. Paint will be washable, but wearing clothes that can get messy is recommended.
