The "masters" of art

Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Caravaggio were known as “master” with all they have done in the past. They all event further than just art at what they were wanting to event. Da Vinci with wanting to do art, science and architecture. He wanted to learn and go further than anyone with the human body. Da Vinci also would come up with plenty of sketches that we have used in the past and maybe even today. Michelangelo wanted to go further with marble. Making it look like it was coming alive. It was amazing what one man could do with stone. Lastly Caravaggio was a wanted criminal that loved to create art of normal people that he saw on the street. While on the move all the time he created beautiful pieces of art. Also even though he was a criminal, painters after him used some of his ideas and techniques. As you see, yes these men were “masters” of this time and yes I can see why they are called “stars” also.
Today I do think that there are “masters” among us. No I don’t think they are as good as the “masters” before our time. These new masters are not just artists; they are fashion designers, graphic designers and architectures. They do many different things now days. Some may even go off of the artists from the 14th century. I actually do like a lot of the work that graphic designers do. I know they use technology, but some of the stuff is very sweet. There are also many painters that are masters that have come up with different ways to make their art work look.
