Another mutant, ninja turtle, I also happened to be the greatest Renaissance sculptor. The word 'Renaissance' means 'rebirth', and my philosophy was to help the figures I sculpted be 'reborn' from the large marble rocks I used to sculpt. One of my tallest sculptures is called 'David', a famous heroic figure from the Bible. My large, marble 'David' looks over his shoulder with confidence and strength. In addition to sculpting, I also painted. My most famous paintings can be found in the Sistine Chapel in Rome. The only way to see them is to look straight up over your head, they are on the ceiling!

Michelangelo

I am the last but not least painter of this quiz, a modern Spanish painter with a variety of styles. In my early career I had my 'Blue Period' and my 'Rose Period'. You can tell my paintings from these periods because they look very blue or rose colored! One of my most famous paintings was called 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon', which I painted in 1907. In this painting, the women almost look like they are made of blocks...this was the first Cubist painting. With Cubism, George Braques and I took another step towards making purely abstract paintings. In 1937 I painted another famous work, called 'Guernica', which protested the killing of people during the Spanish Civil War. Some people think some of my portraits look funny because you can see people with two eyes on one side of their head, but this is part of my Cubist style and isn't meant to make you laugh, it's meant to make you think! Who am I?
Pablo Picasso
