MichealAngelo for example, he painted, wrote poems and so on. I have a friend who asked and now the entire class wants to figure out what word he was thinking of. He said "what do they all michealangelo, the guy who wrote poems and and painted paintings. What do you call someone who is really gopod at many things?" it wasnt multitalented or multitasker so.... hmm whats the word

During the Renaissance there were quite a number of such notable people with many talents. My own favourite is Leon Battista Alberti.
The word most often used to describe them is "polymath". It does not mean anything to do with mathematics.

Hmm... perhaps it was "prodigy"?
prod·i·gy (prd-j) KEY
NOUN:
pl. prod·i·gies
1. A person with exceptional talents or powers: a math prodigy.
Though, I think that just means they're very good at something. I'm not sure. If I come up with something else I'll add it. Now I'm curious too!
Okay, some other words:
flexible, all-around, adaptable, skillful.

How about versatile or adroit?
P.S. Since you specifically asked for a WORD, not a phrase, I was thinking only of single words. Versatile literally means exactly what you described.
