Specific characteristics of the work
-What is so special and unique about this work of art?
I think that all the sculptures and paint’s that Michelangelo made. Have something that makes different, that make his work unique. Well this beautiful sculpture is different than the others, I don’t know why but when I see the face of the slave make me feel the impression…I don´t know why but his eyes reflect me sadness and suffer. His mouth is seriously I don’t find the correct words to explain how I see it. I said this because other person could see it different.

I think that the think that make unique this work is the history, originally it was made for the tomb of a pope, buy when michelangelo dies his family sell the sculpture.

Personal Reflection

I love this fabolus sculpture, in my self i think all the sculptures and paitns of michelangelo were based in the human. And he really make feel that the human is PERFECT, well i think he saw the human that the most PERFECT creation that gode mades. I just think that the human take the perfection because is unique. They aren't two similars humans.

I can sade that I'm iddentifited with the sculpture for the simple reason "is human". When I see a pearson the first that I see are the eyes, i think that the eyes are "the door of the pearson that is in front of me". I can´t find the specific description when i see the eyes of someone, but they make me feel security. And when i see the ayes of the slave, "wuau" they look real "i really love the eyes of this slave".
