Nate and I had the BEST DAY EVER. We went diving off a glacier onto a speed boat. We went to the Red Sea and went scuba diving. We saw turtles,sharks,dolphins, and all types of cool fish. We rode dolphins all the way to San Jose to see the mesa. We climbed on top of it then soared on top of a hawk.We went over the beutiful Cliffs of Moher. We went to France's beaches and the hawk dropped us in the the ocean.We got to the coast and started having a football catch. We hopped on Mr.T's back and he brought us to the cape of good hope. We went back to Philly and watched the Eagles game!!!!

**Assignment 2: Please write a two page, 1.5 space, 14 font paper on your Renaissance Man. This is due December 20th.** **Puppet Presentations will take place in class on December 20th. Have fun exploring.** DONATO DI NICCOLO’ DI BETTO BARDI

Donato called Donatello was a talented artist who was born in Florence, Italy. Donato was the son of Niccolo DI Betto Bardi. He lived a long life of success making

many sculptures in many buildings. The Martelie family educated Donato as a young boy. As a young artist he worked with a gold smith and molded gold objects

and sold them for money. Donato for most of the beginning of his career worked with Flippo Brunelleschi.

In 1417 Donato made one of his most famous and best sculptures ever. The sculpture was called Saint George found in Florence, Italy. Many people truly felt

Donato was one of the greatest artists and made the best sculptures during the Renaissance. He also made a famous sculpture called the Equestrian statue of

Gattamelta. The word Gattamelta means “ the honey cat”. Donato created the bronze cross for the Saint Basilica of Anthony. It seemed as every piece of artwork

he did was not for fame but was for the love of it and passion behind what he did. The majority of his artwork was done in Italy and most of the time was related to

Saints and Angels.

During the Renaissance many people felt he was so good that he actually inspired Michelangelo and became known as one of the best artists ever. I found that

very impressive that someone like Michelangelo truly looked up to Donato and wished to follow in his footsteps. Donato many times would say to himself, “ will I

ever finish this masterpiece”. Donato never gave up and always pushed to complete his work. In his 80 years on this earth he inspired people with his craft and

even today people looked up to Donato for his work. In the Boston Museum of Fine Arts Donato made a beautiful marble sculpture of Mary ( Moddana).

On December 13, 1466 Donato died and his last project was not finished. He made two bronze pulpits ( platforms for preaching) unfinished in Florence, Italy. One

of Donato's proud students finished the project; his name was Bertoldo Di Giovanni. Donato influenced artists not only in Italy but also all over the world. He was

known to be an extremely hard worker, as he finished a project he would immediately begin another one never really taking a break form his work. I give him a a

lot of credit making sculptures day by day it is not easy work and mentally and even physically had to be tough.

Donato was a role model for many artists from his time. He was also a role model for young kids as well. One of the teenage Ninja Turtles names was

Donatello. He was a fighting machine who helped citizens and defeated the bad guys. Donato was a success and inspired so many people. Donato was

everything he wanted to be and he followed his dreams and got to the top.
