This piece is more on creativity than a creative piece. It seems that this world is losing it's creative part, but there seems to be a select few who still possess the true gift of creativity.

The Sistine Chapel, what thought and creativity it inspires. With all of its artwork and fresco’s, it looks as if it’s built for a king. This structure was built to last through the ages, and it has for 500 years. The Sistine Chapel is a fine example of what man is capable of. There is a story waiting to be told from within these walls. Let’s try to find out that story.

When you walk into the Sistine Chapel, your jaw drops. What is before you is a sight that has been legend since it was built. Art is all around you; it is on the walls, ceiling, and even the floor. If you look up in the middle of the structure, you will see one of the most famous paintings in the world, The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo. This masterpiece shows how god himself created man. Adam is reaching up to the heavens as god is reaching down. Their finger’s are almost touching, but never meeting. In their eyes true inspiration is shining.

In these historic walls, something as old as the catholic religion takes place, Conclave. Conclave is the act of choosing a new pope. The story begins like this… Immediately following the death of a pope, the papal ring is destroyed by the late pope’s carmelango (Chamberlin). Then, the papal apartment is sealed for a nine day mourning period. Following, every country in the world sends a cardinal between the ages of 65 and 80. A cardinal is a man who is the most important priest in that country. Then, the carmelango has tea with the four preferiti, the late pope’s four favorite cardinals to become the next pope. After the tea, all of the cardinals assemble in the Sistine Chapel to decide the next pope. The doors are even sealed with wax, so no one can get in or out until they elect a new pope. I’d love to see this important event with my one eye’s someday.

I know this paper seems more like a report, but I decided to do my creative piece on creativity, not writing about a fairy land or a boy wizard with glasses. I hope this piece has inspired you to be as creative as you can be.
