Helllooooo everybody in this forum!!!!! 🙋♀️ Sorrry that i did not post a LONGGG time in it but i wanted to share things that we have in our art history class bc maybe others like it too and i promised it!!! 🙂
BUTTT first who knows from which painting this is:
📸️
ANDDD who made it and also what does it mean??? I know it but i will not say anything yet!!! 😛 😛 But tbh i didnt know the meaning like that what we had in class and only AFTERRR he explained it then u can see things that u didnt know. 🙂 I also tag Mr. Gandalfff @Lir_Elhan bc he also likes art and of course i hope others here like @Piwipete, @diogenes_cask, @Fleurke, @H_E_A_R_T and everybody else who wants write what they think!!! 😊😊🥰🥰
PS: @Tesssaaaaa what is ur BESSSSSSSTTT and NICEESSTTT drawing that u can maybe share? 😛
È la creazione di Adamo, disegnato da Michelangelo Buonarroti. Sì trova nella Cappella Sistina nello stato della Città del Vaticano
Wowww @Tesssaaaaa they are really cool!!! I already knew that u can draw really well bc i saw already earlier on ur profile!!! 😛 😛 Maybe it is a nice idea that u for example scan or make photo of it and u can use some u like most to make postcards or mini cards and u can use them!!! 😊😊😇
ANDDDD @lucasar92 and @The_Owl and i think also @Fleurke were right BUTTTTTTT one question still!!! 😛 😛 Why are the fingers like that on the painting?? So the left is DIFFERENT than the right hand but why?? Bc we heard that it has a special meaning too!!! I show the painting again and im curious if anybody knows it!!!
Tbh i didnt know it myself until the teacher said it and i think almost nobody can guess it. But maybe smb here knows it already!!! 😃

Michelangelo had initially depicted the fingers of God and Adam touching, but the cardinals insisted on a separation. For them, it wasn’t merely about aesthetics; it was a profound philosophical statement.
God’s finger, they decreed, must always strive to its utmost extent, an eternal reach towards humanity. However, Adam’s finger should curl back slightly, representing the essence of human free will. For in the pursuit of the divine, it is the individual’s choice – the conscious extension of one’s spirit – that defines the journey toward enlightenment.
That's far beyond being a masterpiece dressed by aesthetics only.
Wowww @Tesssaaaaa sono davvero fantastici!!! Sapevo già che disegni molto bene perché l'avevo già visto sul tuo profilo!!! 😛 😛 Forse è una bella idea che tu, ad esempio, li scansioni o ne fotografi alcuni e ne usi alcuni che ti piacciono di più per creare cartoline o mini cartoline e poi le usi!!! 😊😊😇
EEEEE @lucasar92 e @The_Owl e penso anche @Fleurke avevano ragione MAEEEEEE ancora una domanda!!! 😛 😛 Perché le dita sono così nel dipinto?? Quindi la sinistra è DIVERSA dalla destra, ma perché?? Perché abbiamo sentito che ha anche un significato speciale!!! Mostro di nuovo il dipinto e sono curioso di sapere se qualcuno lo sa!!!
📸️
A dire il vero, non lo sapevo nemmeno io finché non l'ha detto l'insegnante e credo che quasi nessuno possa indovinarlo. Ma forse qualcuno qui lo sa già!!! 😃
Se non erro la mano di Adamo è tipo titubante ma incuriosito
What @diogenes_cask and @lucasar92 wrote is correct both!!!!! So diogenes already described the most and tbh i didnt know abt the cardinals and that they changed it!!! 🙄🙄
So what was explained in our class is that if you look at the full painting you can see that the hand is also like the rest of God on the right (so not only the hand but the WHOLE of God that he tries to reach Adam)!!! Here is the full painting:
And it is true that ppl should also make an effort like God to reach out!!! But some are super relaxed like Adam looks and they dont make really an effort or they just to a bit but not in the same way as God does it. So every person should decide if you make your best effort or less or not at all. 🙂
If others like it i can post more things that we get in our class and maybe others will ❤️ it too. 😊😊
awesome
Hellooo everybody!! 😊😇 I have a very short question:
➡️ If you go to a museum and there are THOUSANDSSS of artworks, how long do you normally look at every single artwork?
I am very curious what ppl say honestly as answer without yet looking below. The reason why i ask the question is that today it is Slow Art Day. So normally ppl spend abt 30 seconds to look at one painting or an artwork. But sometimes it is better to take a LOTTT more time and that u see everything and LOTTTSS of details much better. Or that u just keep the feeling what u feel when looking at it.
Hopefully some ppl will answer super honest how much time they look normally per artwork and if it is more or less than 30 seconds. Thnxxx very much for everybody who answers!!! 🙏❤️🙏
Hi Yue,
when I go to a museum I prepare for it at home.
I look where the most interest is for me.
In the museum I normally go straight to my favorite topic
and look which art work catches me most.
Then I can sit or stand there for more than half an hour.
Even watching other visitors how they look at the works
is interesting for me and last but not least I percieve
the atmoshere of the museum, the specific room and
try to percieve the time and circumstances which lead
to the making of the art work.
To experience the Exhibitions of Michael here on PPG
was and is very "enlightning" to me.

Hiiii @Fleurke and Christine @H_E_A_R_T!! 😊😊 I like how u describe how u watch EVERYTHING abt the art in the museum. For me i normally want to watch what i like and sometimes i dont know really WHY i like it and sometimes i know it. And if my mom does not rush it a lot i like some time so u feel calm and that you think abt not too many other things and just watch what u like and maybe that u try think why you do like it. 🙂
ANDDDD today it is WORLD ART DAY 2026!!!!!
Can i ask these questions for who wants to answer:
➡️ When was the last time you went to a museum?
➡️ What kind of art do u like now the most?
➡️ Which artist would you want to meet in real life (can also be an artist who is not alive anymore)?
Thank you very much who likes to answer!!! 🙏🙏😊🥰
➡️ When was the last time you went to a museum? Last year
➡️ What kind of art do u like now the most? The paint from my grandmother
➡️ Which artist would you want to meet in real life (can also be an artist who is not alive anymore)?van gogh
Thnxx @Fleurke!!! 🥰🥰 Can i ask what did ur grandmother paint? And i like u said Van Gogh!! For me i think know between maybe Leonardo da Vinci and Claude Monet. We got a LOTTTT from them both in art history class so that wud be really special and cool! 🙂
No, my grandmother bought the painting. She didn't paint it herself. It's sunflowers in a vase. I can look at this painting for hours.Do you like the art classes? @Yue_
That is really cool!!! es it is actually not art class but art history but it is a lot more than i expected but it is my second extra subject and i want to keep it. Bc u get not only abt different art styles and forms but also abt the lives of artists and history of THATTT time and how it was like and influences and almost everything. But it also goes really fast!!!!
