      • Michelangelo - creation of Adam
        • focuses on how dependant humanity is on God
          • Adam is shown is a perfect man and this reflects what is taught in Genesis that God made everything good
            • Hes shown as the ideal mad but not fully alive, his outstretched arm is almost touching God but fingers are bent, waiting for Gods lifef force to straighten them out.
          • God looks much older than Adams showing how he is ancient and eternal unlike humans
          • Adam and God are lying in the same positions, showing how humanity is made in the image of God.
          • The hands reaching out show how humans want a close relationship with God
          • God in air shows his transcendence while Adam is on the ground.
            • nothing comes into being without God
        • Nowhere in the Bible did it say Gods touched Adam to give him life. Since they are nearly the same size is suggests that man is equal to God. Some people don't like how God is presented as an old man.
