Michelangelo was, arguably, the
greatest artist of the Renaissance.
Thousands flock each year to see
his David sculpture – a mammoth
and gorgeous work that beautifully
conveys the mix of strength and
trepidation in this young man as
he prepared to face his biblical
foe, Goliath. Michelangelo evokes
intense emotions. He taps into the
human spirit. We treasure his works for their honest power.
If he was still around today, there’s a good chance Michel-
angelo would be heading to Vienna this April. Not just to
admire the wealth of art throughout this center of culture. In
addition to the 37 other stimulating, edgy sessions, he’d get
to hear Dr. Maria Kreuzer present her work on Multi-Sen-
sory Sculpting, which would be right up his alley.
Maria will demonstrate how Multi-Sensory Sculpting is a
powerful tool for eliciting human emotions and deep-seated
ideas because it lets people go beyond the verbal — by creat-
ing their own sculptures. And just like Michelangelo’s David,
these sculptures illuminate something profound about us.
For the rest of us, who may not be quite as artistically
gifted as Michelangelo but who value the power of
non-verbal qualitative tools, Maria’s work on Multi-Sensory
Sculpting will challenge and inspire.
