In this set of materials, the lecture and the reading passage talk about the artist Michelangelo. However, the lecture cast doubt on the point that the reading lecture presents.

To begin with, the lecture criticizes the ideas that praised Michelangelo as one of the best artist during renaissance period. The professor claims that he completed the work with David sculpture after another famous artist started it. So the inspired thoughts were not belong to him as the reading lecture states.  

Moreover, he employed thousand of artists and used their ideas to finish the Sistine chapel. On the other hand, the reading lecture states that his work was great and took him many years to finish the chapel especially the huge tremendous ceiling. On the contrary, the professor states that the decoration of the chapel was done by other talented artists that he hired them to finish the piece. He was the manager but not the smartest artists.

The reading passage presents Michelangelo’s reputation as one the of the highest reputation in art era and gives information about his masterpieces. The lecturer, however, disputes these arguments and states two significant reasons for his claims .


To begin with, lecturer points out that the Statue of Moses, which Michelangelo had designed before he started to build Sistine Chapel, was a product of another artist’s idea. This casts doubt on the point in reading passage that the Statue of Moses was designed by Michelangelo’s own brillant skills

.

In addition, the lecturer also claims that despite it is known that  Sistine Chapel is a great masterpiece of Michelangelo’s art and he spent 40 years of his life to build it, it was impossible to build such a great building just by himself, and it was probably needed thousands of other artists. However, in reading passage, it is implied that he worked as he was the only artist in the building of the sculpture, since it is stated that he confessed that the Sistine Chapel could not reach his standards.

The reading passage discusses about the Art created during the renaissance period, in particular  discusses the contribution of Michelangelo towards it. The professor refutes the statement made by the reading passage by adding detail examples in the listening passage.

To start with, The professor states that  Leonardo Da Vinci and others also worked in the same period  and created masterpieces. But crediting Michelangelo alone is unwarranted. With this the professor counters the statement that " stand out as most famous of all others in the era", from the reading passage.

In addition, the claims of creating the statue of David  by Michelangelo in the reading passage was disregarded by the professor. He states the Original inspiration for the statue was given by Augestine later he was asked to complete the work because of the formers unavailability. Thus the professor explains that the statue of David was  not the his work . This cast doubt on the reading passage statement that statue of David, the masterpiece was created by Michelangelo .

Finally, the professor argues that the artistic work in the Sistine Chapel was  done by thousands of artist, but Michelangelo was admired  and appreciated. In real the Unknown artist who worked with him should be credited. The reading passage states that he also created the statue of the 12 apostle , the Mosses and the Last Judgement is doubted, The professor asserts it as team work and Michelangelo  can be credit for his managerial skill.

To sum up,  the professor argues the misinterpretation of  the reading passage and states the unknown facts and clears the readers doubts.

The reading passage presents information to stress that Michelangelo was the most famous artist of the renaissance. The professor, however, disputes these arguments.

To begin with, the professor names the most famous artists of the period, namely Rafael, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. While he agrees that the first two are great artist, he cast doubt on the work of Michelangelo. This is in contradiction to the reading passage that Michelangelo is the most famous of all artists from the renaissance.

In particular, the professor claims that the widely known Statue of David, made between 1501 to 1504, wasn’t actually the work of Michelangelo. He states that it was inspired by another artist. This challenges the information of the reading passage that the finishing of the statue was a process during that time.

Finally, the professor maintains that the famous Sistine Chapel was not the entire work of Michelangelo. To the contrary, he says that Michelangelo was more a manager and knew how to bring the best artist together. To paint such a beautiful chapel, about 1000 of artists are needed. This doesn’t concur with the assumption of the reading passage that the Sistine Chapel was the work of Michelangelo.

The passage comments on the work of Michelangelo, an artist from the Renaissance period, crediting him with the creation of incredible art-pieces. The professor disputes the points presented in the passage about the artist.

To begin with, the Professor points out that the creation of the "statue of David" was assigned to Michelangelo only after another sculptor failed to finish the statue. So, Michelangelo merely finished the statue, thus, the inspiration was not his. This contradicts the passage which calls the statue "a masterpiece" of Michelangelo.

The professor also challenges the work done by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel. He claims that the reason it took Michelangelo so many years was because he was doing other pieces at the same time. Also he points out that in the chapel, a lot of other artists were employed to work, so we cannot credit all the work done there to Michelangelo. Again, the Professor overthrows the ideas presented in passage that Michelangelo did his most prominent works in the Chapel.

Overall, the Professor presents Michelangelo as a "manager of other artists" or as someone that "brings out the best in other artists" and casts doubt on the talent and the originality the passage credits Michelangelo with.

The reading passage states that Michelangelo is the greatest artist in the renaissance era. However, the lecture refutes these arguments.


To begin with, the article claims that one of the famous artwork of Michelangelo is statue of David. However, the professor says that he did not finish this work himself. There is another artist who took a charge for finishing this statue.


The professor states that there are a lot of pictures that are used for decorating ceiling of the Sistine chapel. So, the professor thinks that Michelangelo can not finish all of these decorations by himself. He says that it needs to have one thousand artists to complete all of works on the chapel ceiling. This casts doubt the point in the reading passage that Michelangelo finished all pictures by himself.


The professor also says that Michelangelo take much more credit from his work than the true. Actually, He should be the greatest manager than the greatest artist of the world.

The reading passage presents the artworks of one of the most famous artists on renaissance period, Michael Angelo. The professor, however, casts doubts on the idea presented in the reading about his elite masterpiece.


To begin with, the  professor mentions renown artists aside from Michael Angelo and points out the fact that Michael Angelo is not the only artist who made his artworks a success and should not be given a viable credit alone on his art. This casts doubts on the point in the reading passage that all the examples mentioned from his masterpiece were credited under his name and were given recognition and importance in the history.

In addition, the professor mentions one of his artworks, the Statue of David, wherein  according to him Michael Angelo is not the sole artist who complete this art but someone had finished the Statue of David. Although, the reading passage supports the idea that it was Michael Angelo who made completely the masterpiece.

Finally, the lecturer asserts another illustration from Michael Angelo's artwork, the Sisten Chapel. This artwork took forty years of decorating to complete the Sisten Chapel. However, the professor believes that it was not Michael Angelo completed the masterpiece but by the help of many famous artists as well.

To sum up, the professor finishes by asserting that that Michael Angelo somehow brings out the best in others and they must be given recognition.Although Michael angelo has made a history during the renaissance period but it he would be appropriate for him to be a manager and model to all artists.

In the reading passage states that Michealangelo is the most famous artist in renaissance era. In the listening passage the professor strongly doubts whether he should be named as the most prominent artist in this era, comparing to Leonardo and Rafael.

To begin with, the professor points out that Michealangelo continued David statue from other artist, Arkio, the one who created the sculpture.  He said that Michealor finished David Statue only minor part. Therefore this work came from other artist’s inspiration, not from himself. This casts doubt to the reading passage that Michealangleo created David statue himself.

More than that, professor also points out that, Michealor Angelo had worked entirely 40 years on Sistine Chapel. In this time, he also worked with other project. So the Sistine Chapel hire many 1000 artists to work in many components. Hence, this work is rather respected as the way he pick the best idea from other artist for making the new one. This casts doubt in the reading passage that Sistine chapel is regarded as his famous work of all time, without mention working collaboration with other artists at all.

The lecture explained why Michelangelo´s work wasn´t the only populare work of artists in the renaissance age.There are following three reasons.

First of all, everybody know that there are further artists also known by the people like Rafael and Da vinci, who lived in the same time. This directly refutes the reading wich states that Michelangelo was the "most famous of all".

Secondly, not Michelangelo felt the inspiration for his masterwork from 1504, Statue David, but another artist, named Da ducio. He had the idea and Michelangelo just ended his production. 
Again this contradicts is stated in the reading which stated that he build it  to 1501 to 1504.

Thirdly, relate the professor that in that 40 years working  on the ceiling of Sestine Chapel Michelangelo create also a large quantity of other sculptures and paintings in the Chapel.
Besides, he engaged many other artists and gave them possibility to work as well as a pation to do the best possible work.


In conclusion, the renesaunce age as the greatest time in the history of arts gave birth to many other famous artists, not all his works are selfmade or not all inspirations came just from him and in  the diffuclt time of finishing the ceiling he produced also another things in the chapel and furthermore he paid money to other smaller artists by learning them to do the best. These are the main reasons why the lecture critizise the reading passage.

The reading passage highly praised Michaelangelo as one of the greatest and most talented artist in the Renaissance era. The professor, however, believes that this commendation is highly overrated when compared to what actually happened for real. He casts doubt on the examples provided in the reading.

First, the reading passage complimented Michaelangelo’s achievement when he created David Sculpture. The professor points out the flaw in this argument and said that David Sculpture should not be credited solely to Michaelangelo talent. He claims that Michaelangelo only completed what Agostino di Ducio had abandoned. Di Duccio was the person who was originally commissioned to create David Sculpture. The inspiration in his. So the professor disputes the passage's argument which claimed that David Sculpture is Michaelangelo's masterpiece.


In addition to that, the reading passage glorified Michaelangelo’s work in Sistine Chapel where he spent 40 years of his life to complete the project. Again, the professor cast doubt on this point as well. He argues that it is impossible that Sistine Chapel’s is purely Michaelangelo’s work, because there must be thousands of artists working together at time to decorate the Chapel. Therefore, the professor finishes by asserting that Michaelangelo should be praised instead as a great manager for his ability to manage talented artists who worked with him in Sistine Chapel.

The reading passage explains Michelangelo is the most famous artist in the renascence and provides two reasons. However, the professor doesn’t agree with the idea and disputes these arguments.


To begin with, the professor points out that the Statue of David is the work sculpted by not only Michelangelo but also some artists. He states that the first inspiration of this statue came from another artist and that he just completed the work which another sculptor didn’t finish. This casts doubt on the point in the reading passage that this statue is his masterpiece he created for three years.


The reading passage also asserted that Michelangelo painted the ceiling and created other works in the Sistine Chapel as his work for forty years. However, the professor disputes this point as well, pointing out that thousands of artists contributed the decorations in the Chapel. It means that these are not only his works. He also states that the fact that these artists could work very well showed his talent to manage working people.

Very good attempt at integrating key information, but many details are missing or incorrecctly reported. Your writing has many problems at sentence level as well, which cause some strain for the reader.
