CoachAs David stands there he is a classical figure of strength, youth, and the ideal of NeoPlatonic thinking. Michelangelo said that the figure was already in the stone and all he did was free it. The movement displayed by the figure with the muscles, draping, and stance all are classical elements.

Why do you think writers and artists began exploring the unconscious?
I think writers and artists began exploring the unconscious because they wanted to depict the inner world of emotion and imagination rather than show realistic representations of objects.
Why do you think artists rarely use symmetrical balance in their work?
Because it is, or can be when over-used, trite. Don't people tend to be more interesting the more unbalanced they are? Also, if there is too much symmetry, the eye (or ear, or mind) is not drawn anyplace in particular; everywhere you turn, you are at a place that you could think of as an artistic 'center of gravity'. I think the sense of balance and composition in any art should draw you in, and not just let you slip freely.
Why did Donatello depict his David as a young adolescent?
