Light is a form of energy that takes the shape of magnetic or electrical waves, and these waves are reflected off of or emitted from matter. According to Sir Isaac Newton's theory of light and color, since these waves of light have different frequencies and wavelengths, once reflected off of or emitted from matter, these waves appear as colors. According to the Young-Helmholtz theory, also called the trichromatic theory, we are able to see color because the retinas of our eyes are formed with three types of cones that are sensitive to the wavelengths of the three colors; red, green and blue. Therefore, the difference between light and color is that light is energy made up of wavelengths, whereas colors are the various wavelengths our eyes are sensitive to and can see once the light is reflected from or emitted from matter

That would be Michelangelo (full name <span><em>Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni</em>). He painted the Sistine Chapel for roughly four years (1508 - 1512) when he was invited back to Rome by Pope Julius II to build the Pope's Tomb. The St. Peter's Basilica was something he succeeded from <em>Antonio da Sangallo the Younger</em> as an architect. He changed the design so that the western end finished with his design, as with the dome.</span>

Religion has always played a key role in art expression. How do you think it has changed from primitive times through the Renais
Shalnov [3]
Religion was and will always be a big part in art, because lots of people base their whole lives around religion. In the Renaissance religion played in gigantic role. Leonardo Da Vinci painted 'The Last Supper,' while Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling and 'The Creation of Adam'. These only name a few, but these paintings still stand out as some of the most memorable art in history. Today art is more expression about the human body and emotions, unlike how back then it was focusing on religion.
