ReplyDeleteThank you Kianna and I am pretty sure that yours will be the same way.
ReplyDeleteIn these three paragraphs I am going to tell you somethings that I learned about Leonardo Da Vinci.One when he was a young boy his family didn't spend money on his formal education,but he was a really smart guy;meaning he educated himself. Another thing that I learned about him is that he was a bastard child and back then the fathers gave them there last names but his father didn't.
ReplyDeleteNext, I learned that he was the first man to draw the circulatory system, and back then Science wasn't invented.Also he bumped heads with Michael Angelo,another artist that created the David. When he was doing the Mona Lisa, he wasn't very proud but people thought that the painting was amazing. Today people are studying the Mona Lisa so they can see or try to figure out who she was.
In this last paragraph I am going to ask three questions to Leonardo (even though hes dead). One did you ever think that you would be popular and famous? Two, growing up without a father was it hard? and three, who did the Mona Lisa represent.That is my facts and my questions about Leonardo Da Vinci. I hope you enjoyed it! Thank you.

I Have learned that Leonardo was a bastered child.
ReplyDeletehe never got a education and he learned on his own.he invented things when he was younger and he never gave up.He got sewed a lot of times because he didn't finish there painting but he really only painted when he was younger to get money if he needed it. lots of Leonardo's paintings had little secrets in it.
people tried to put Leonardo get put in jail. saying that he had sex with a male. but they didn't lock him up because they didn't have enough evidence of him doing that. They did that because they know what he could do with his hands and he had great talent. He also was the first person to draw the hart and the circulatory system .

ReplyDeleteLeonardo DA vinci was an amazing artist he paints and after he lost interest in painting he studied flying and then after that he studied the human body i think its very interesting and after that he got hired to draw and destine war things but they were diffent.
Born the illegitimate son of a notary, Piero da Vinci, and a peasant woman, Caterina, at Vinci in the region of Florence, Leonardo was educated in the studio of the renowned Florentine painter, Verrocchio. Much of his earlier working life was spent in the service of Ludovico il Moro in Milan. He later worked in Rome, Bologna and Venice and spent his last years in France, at the home awarded him by Francis I.
Leonardo was and is renowned primarily as a painter. Among his works, the Mona Lisa is most famous and most parodied portrait and The Last Supper the most reproduced religious painting of all time, with their fame approached only by Michelangelo's Creation of Adam. Leonardo's drawing of the Vitruvian Man is also regarded as a cultural icon, being reproduced on everything from the euro to text books to t-shirts. Perhaps fifteen of his paintings survive, the small number due to his constant, and frequently disastrous, experimentation with new techniques, and his chronic procrastination. Nevertheless, these few works, together with his notebooks, which contain drawings, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting, compose a contribution to later generations of artists only rivalled by that of his contemporary, Michelangelo.
ice work u guys ;-p

ReplyDeleteWhat did i learn about Leonardo Da Vinci? He was born in 1452, and he died in 1519.I learned that he was a great engineer and architect,designing many of the chief structures and public works of Milan. He was an experimental scientist long before the formulation of the so called scientific method.He was the first man to draw the heart and the digestive system that had every detail on the paper.
Leonardo Da Vinci was a man of high moral character, gracious,and kind in all dealings. The Last Supper, with its profound insights into the heart of Christ and the disciples, a painting that has blessed and stirred the souls of multitudes over the centuries. His investigations marked the beginning of the scientific revolution.Leonardo drew the plans for the first armored car in 1485! He also designed the cannon, a machine gun, gliders, turnspit for roasting meat, canal system to irrigate fields and transport goods in Milan, invented the parachute, a movable bridge for the Duke of Milan.
1. How did you know all this stuff about science?
2. How did you know that there was going to be a maned thing that can fly one day?
3.If you was here today how would you express yourself to people?
4. What did you like when you was a child?
5. What didn't you like when you was a child?
6. What is your kids name? Why did you name them that?
Good Job Samantha and daija i llike your details!

I have learned a lot from watching the life of Leonardo Da Vinci. Davinci was a wonderful painter. One of his most Famous was the Mona Lisa. He carried the Mona Lisa around until the day he died. He did that because he wasn’t finish with the Mona Lisa. He wasn’t satisfied and he wanted to show off his painting. But when he died the Mona Lisa went into an art museum and the painting got stolen twice. Also he was a Baster Child.
If you didn’t notice, in Da Vinci’s paintings their was kind of a triangle. All the things in the picture went to the person in the middle. Also, it was a time when Leonardo was older and a new artist had come out. The name of that artist was Michael Angelo. He stole all of Leonardo’s ideas. Leonardo was so upset that he started to talk about Michael behind his back and he called Angelo all kinds of names. But then again, he started to envy Michael because he could paint and he was younger than Leonardo. Those were some of my facts about Leonardo.
Some questions that I would ask him are the following:
1. Where did he get his ideas for his painting at?
2. What made him want to paint?
3. When did he start doodling?
4. Did he think his child hood was good or bad?
5. How does he feel to have so many people love him and so many to hate him?
Sakin it is spelled Nice not ice

Leonardo Da Vinci
Have you ever thought of some of the facts about Leonardo Da Vinci? Well I did. In this essay I will share a couple of facts and I will ask some questions.
One fact on Leonardo Da Vinci is that he was not a christan. Another fact is that he built weapons so that they can be used in the army. He decided that he wanted to be a military mechanic. He painted pictures of people that he thought had interesting faces. He was a bastard kid. He doesn’t like Michael Angelou. He made a painting called the Mona Lisa. He was the first one to paint the heart and the circularly system. Those are all of my facts.
Now I will ask a couple of questions. Why didn’t you finish the Mona Lisa painting? Was Mona Lisa a real person? Why did you want to be a painter? Why were you so interested in the human body system? Why did you paint so differently from the other artist? In conclusion those are my questions.

ReplyDeleteTo be continued!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have learned a lot of things after I saw this video. I found out that he was a basturd child and had no formal education. So what he did was to educate himself. I saw that people used to get executed in public and the crowd used to laugh. When he got older, he tried to get a job but no one would hire him. After Leonardo trying to find a job, his father’s best friend made Leonardo an artist. He became too good that made his father’s` friend quit painting. A lot of people were with envy of him so they accused him of having sex with a 17 year-old boy. Later they found out that he was innocent and let him be free, but he got a bad reputation and after being free, he started drawing people that were hanged. Leonardo then started leaving clues in each painting but years later, he got tired of painting and moved to Milan. When he got there, he wanted to create weapons so he got an assistant to help him with his work.
ReplyDeleteHe started making paintings again and drew the last supper which took him 3 years to finish. He became more intelligent each day and started to master new things like geometry. He also made a huge sculpture of a horse made out of clay for his new job but the French attacked and destroyed by using it as a shooting target to practice. Leonardo lost his new job because the duke of Milan was no longer the duke. In later years, there was a man called Michael Angelo who started stealing Leonardo’s ideas which made Leonardo mad and mock Angelo’s work. He was also getting depress because he was getting older so he returned to Florence. He then started working for Cesare Borgia. After a view years he started to paint the Mona Lisa and put some mysteries on the painting. After a long time he started getting interested in flight and made a machine that he thought would work but didn’t. He even drew the heart and circular system and created lot of things that we use today. He was way ahead of his time. He then died in 1519.
If I were to ask him some questions, my first one would be “Why did you get so interested in flight?” I would also ask him if he loved all that he did? My last question would be if he could teach me everything that he learned?

ReplyDeleteIn my two paragraphs I am going to be telling you some things that I learned about Leonardo Davinci, for my third paragraph I am going to ask some questions I want to know about this wonderful man but before I get started I want to ask you a couple questions, have you ever heard of Leonardo Davinci? If so do you now any thing about him if so see maybe if you can answer some of the question I am going to ask in my final paragraph.
ReplyDeleteLeonardo Davinci was born on April 15, 1452, and died May 2, 1519. He was a bastard child that couldn’t get an education or a job because of him being a bastard child. Despite his disability to get an education truly his was a very wise man in my perspective this is why, he was the first person to dissect a cadaver another reason is not only was he good at art science and math he was good at building things for an example he created a horse that had a man on top of it and made it very big and powerful.
Some other things I learned about Leonardo Davinci are that he did not like a man named Michael Angelo. He sometimes talked this man and said really mean and hurtful things about him like his house smells like feces and he is more like a baker then an artist, in my perspective I think that he I a little jealous of the man because he was a lot younger so he was going to last a lot longer and he was going to fade out and not get any more fame. I my perspective he really is a smart talented and creative man to me and a little mysterious
Questions
1. what made you so smart
2. how did you like your life
3. do you wish you could have accomplished more in you life
4. did you really want your pictures to be so mysterious
5. did you accomplished all you needed
I learned a lot about Leonardo Da Vinci. He was a bastured child and lived with his father. He had no schooling and was very smart for a boy who has not spent one day in his life at school.He was born in a small town in Tuskeny.
ReplyDeleteHe moved to Paris as a youn teenager.In Paris he painted in this place that seemed like a painteing school.He painted many things there. And soon his fathers frind takes him under his wing.His trainer painted a picture and had leonardo paint the angles. Leonardo painted them so well, so life like that it was said that his trainer never painted again.
My questions for leonardo are how were you so smart without going too school?then i would ask him how was it being a bastured child and the way people thought of you? those are the questions i would ask.

ReplyDeleteI was watching this tape in class and it was based on Leonardo Davinci. When my class and I watched this I learned several things about and a few other people. For example, I learned a few things about Michael Angel what I leaned was that he was creating this statue called the David and doesn’t like him because he likes to steal his ideas and. Michael is much younger than Mr. Davinci. I also, learned that he never finished the Mona Lisa painting and when he was working on it he started to get interested in flights. He sat there and watched birds and how there wings flap and now we have air planes to take us from one country/city to another. He wanted to make Mona Lisa hands look so real he sat there and studied a dead body’s hands and measured it. He did this because he wanted it to be so perfect. Finally, he carried her painting around everywhere he went until he died. It is the most famous painting around today and people tried to steal it out of museums.
Leonardo was a basted child when he was a little boy. He lived with his stepmom and father. His mother moved away to go find her dream man a classic guy. He liked his childhood. When he was 16 years old his father sent him away to art and they examined dead and alive body’s to make sure they had every length and measure perfect. Some families wanted to control of his family fortune. Also, a lot of people were jealous of him because he knew how to draw/ paint and sculpture he was a talented man. His childhood was holding him back because he was a bastard child so when this happens you can not get a job or a last name. Leonardo is so good at painting the man that was teaching him quit his job because Leonardo was so good. Being a painter was a good/important thing because you work for a lot of rich people and they wanted pictures of themselves and he has a lot of money. They didn’t have cameras back then so people would have to sit there for hours maybe even days. Finally, these jealous people did not like him so they said that he had sex with a 17 year old male prostitute. Leonardo was 24 and when you do this you get burned. If you get arrested it messed up your career but the charges drop.
Question for Mr. Davinci?
1. What was it like when people didn’t like you?
2. Did you feel strong and powerful when you were doing all of this stuff?
3. Were you scared that you were going to mess up on a painting and get in trouble?
4. Why don’t you believe in god?
5. Why didn’t you like painting anymore?
6. When you heard that someone saw you having sex with a 17 year old male how did you feel?
7. Were you happy when you were done with your paintings?
8. Were you scared to fight people?
9. Why did you carry Mona Lisa around?
10. Did you like your life?
The end R.i.p Leonardo Davinci We love u <3

ReplyDeleteI learned that Leonardo Da Vinci was a bastard child and he was born April 15th, 1452. Leonardo's mother had got married again with another man when she gave birth to Leonardo. At a young age Leonardo started to invent things. Leonardo was born in Florence, Italy. When the leader was in grave danger Leonardo's family helped him when he was dying. When Leonardo started to paint art work, he had a wonderful art teacher who took Leonardo under his wing. When some people seen his artwork, the whole village was jealous of his work. At the time Leonardo was the greatest of them all. In Florence, criminal's get hung.
ReplyDeleteLeonardo had never had any interest in women he just liked to paint. In 1483 he started to paint the first version of The Virgin. He finished it in 1485. So many people were jealous of him that they accused him of sodomy of having sex with a 17 year old prostitute. Leonardo was the first scientists. He invented the circulatory system. The Mona Lisa was one of Leonardo's famous paintings. The reason of that because some people say that it’s a mystery of who this woman is, where do she live, and other things, no one even knows her. Leonardo carried the Mona Lisa around with him until he died. Leonardo died May 2nd, 1519. That are some facts about Leonardo Da Vinci, I have more but I just can't fit them all on this page.
Leonardo da Vinci was born April 15, 1452 and died on May 2, 1519. He was an amazing artist/scientist. In this paragraph I’m going to tell you about his life. Leonardo was born in Italy as a bestirred child and as a bestirred child you can have your father’s last name and you couldn’t get a job. Leonardo lived with his father and step mother. As a kid Leonardo didn’t go to school but he was still smart.
ReplyDeleteIn this paragraph I’m going to talk about Leonardo’s inventions and his art work. Leonardo was a very smart inventor he invented a lot of things that we have today. Some of his intentions are: The worm gear, the scuba diving gear, the rope making machine, light and shade on the sphere, a large bow and arrow design, the tank, and the stream power cannon. These are some of his inventions. Some of his art works the are: The last supper, Vitruvian Man, Lady with an Ermine and his most famous one of all The Mona Lisa.
Some Questions I have for Leonardo da Vinci:
Who is he Mona Lisa?
Do you have a wife?
What is your favorite art work?
What do you like being amazing artist or scientist?
What was you thinking when you were painting the Mona Lisa?
Would you want to be alive today and see all your inventions.
Leonardo Devinci Continued,
ReplyDeleteQuestions
Is Mona Lisa your wife?
Would you be surprised of how your flight thing happened today?
Do you really believe art is science.
Is the videos history true or fake?
Why did you put clues in your artwork?
Why did you carry Mona Lisa around?

Science: Leonardo Da Vinci
Here I have learned some interesting things about Leonardo Da Vinci. These things give a lot of information of how he was back then as a child and as a young adult until an elderly man. Here are the things I have learned about Leonardo Da Vinci.
Leonardo Da Vinci was born a bastard child because when he was born his mother and father was not married and since they were not married he couldn’t take the last name of his father so his last name was Da Vinci. Da meaning the and Vinci for what the town he was born in. for being a bastard child it was hard for Leonard Da Vinci to get a job. Da Vinci was a great artist and was taken under a great artist wing to make art.
Leonardo didn't have like the new artist in town. He didn't like the newest artist because the new artist was younger like 25 years younger. Another reason why he did not like Michael Angelo because he he took some of Leonardo Da Vinci ideas. When Leonardo was close to his death he became really interested in flight and the Circulatory System. He would bisect a human body to see how the human body was like. He was the first one to draw the heart. Then when it was tie for him to give his life away for the lack of good hygiene.
1.) Why didn't he finish the Mona Lisa?
2.) What was the point of making the Mona Lisa?
3.) Why did he go from Florence, Italy to Milan, Italy?
4.) What was he so interested in making weapons for war?
5.) Why did you want to make Mona Lisa look pregnant?
6.) Do you wish to change anything in your life?
Good job everybody I really like all of your details.

ReplyDeleteLeonardo was born on April 15, 1452, "at the third hour of the night in the Tuscan hill town of Vinci, in the lower valley of the Arno River in the territory of Florence[ He was the illegitimate son of the wealthy Messer Piero Fruosino di Antonio da Vinci, a Florentine legal notary, and Caterina, a peasant. Leonardo had no surname in the modern sense, “da Vinci” simply meaning “of Vinci”: his full birth name was "Leonardo did ser Pier da Vinci", meaning "Leonardo, (son) of (Mess) ser Pier from Vinci". The inclusion of the title "ser" indicated that Leonardo's father was a gentleman.
ReplyDeleteLittle is known about Leonardo's early life. He spent his first five years in the hamlet of Enchain in the home of his mother, and then from 1457 lived in the household of his father, grandparents and uncle, Francesco, in the small town of Vinci. His father had married a sixteen-year-old girl named Alberta, who loved Leonardo but died young. Leonardo received an informal education in Latin, geometry and mathematics but did not show any particular signs of aptitude.
Leonardo DA Vinci was born on April 15,1452 and he was an bastard child his full birth name was Leonardo DA ser Piero DA Vinci. He spent his first five years in the hamlet of Anchiano in the home of his mother. When Leonardo was sixteen his dad got married to Francesca Lanfredini she was 22 years old. he stared to paint when he was sixteen.
ReplyDeleteLeonardo has alot of good paintings like the Mona Lisa or The last supper but the Mona Lisa is the best and it is in a Paris,France Museum and Leonardo moved to mo land and quit painting and stared making things for the wars. when Michelangelo came into place he stared to get mad because he was 20 years younger than him so Leonardo told him he's house looks like he has been making bread and Michelangelo said something that made Leonardo mad and that's it .
1. did you like life ?
2. why didn't finish alot of your paintings ?
3. was you ever married or think about it ?
I learned that Leonardo family spent no money on his education so that mean he didn’t go to school but he was smart. And Leonardo was held back because he was a bastard child. Also Leonardo parents were never married. Leonardo studied humans instead of studying god. Leonardo was support to take his father name and get the same job as him but his parents never got married. One of the famous painters took Leonardo under his wing. Leonardo fulfilled his apprentice position.
ReplyDeleteLeonardo was a great painter he could paint any thing and every thing. Leonardo has a lot of people that’s jealous of him because he is a great painter. Leonardo is not a bastard child no more he is a painter. Leonardo study how a candy light looks on the blanket in the dark and then how it looks with out the light and still in the dark. Leonardo tried to learn how the eye can see. Leonardo 24 and people lie on him and saying that he had sex with a 17 years old boy prostitute. Leonardo now loves nature. Leonardo spent the rest of his life trying to learn how nature works.
Why didn’t you go to school? Where was your dad at in the time period? Where was your mom in that time period? Where did she live at that time period? What was your mother’s name? Where were you dad live at that time period? What was his name? Do you think that they would ever get married?
Do you know the wnderful Leonardo De Vinci? Well if you don't this is kind of something to inform you on who he is. So sit back and lets take a journey into is past.
ReplyDeleteFirst were going to talk about a little bout his childhood. One weird things about De Vinci's childhood is that he didnt have a formal education yet he was very smart. That's weird to m because usally when you are very smart its becasue you got tought all of those things but De Vinci didn't.Another thing about De Vinci's childhood is tht he was a bastard. Which means his father left him. Those ae smething about Leonardo's childhood.
Now it's time to move in to him as a young man. Leonardo was very inerested i painting. One speciic things he kind of started was painting people facinf front. This is something I picked out because back in his time artist painted people sitting side ways. That's why I picked that out. Those are somethings about him as a young man.
Those are somethings about Leonardo. If you want to know more maybe you should do some more research on him. Thanks for reading bye!
