I chose to investigate the discoveries made by Leonardo da Vinci on the aspects of creating an appealing painting, for example, perspective, light, shadow, and color. Da Vinci defined painting as a science, and backed up this claim with credible evidence. Light and shadow are two important aspects that da Vinci studied, and developed into the idea of "chiaroscuro", which is the contrast between light and dark. His treatment of light in his painting the Mona Lisa changed the way that artists perceived and used light. The careful usage of light and shadow is how "modelling" (the three-dimensional illusion) is created. Prior to da Vinci's studies, painting and artwork tended to look flat, or two-dimensional. Da Vinci made discoveries about how

Mathematics has been a part of society ever since its began. Numerous great minds have contributed to the field but one of the most influential mathematicians was Leonardo da Vinci. Genius, renowned and ahead of his time, Leonardo Da Vinci has been called all of these from the time he began changing the world and still is to this day. I chose Leonardo da Vinci to as my scientist because of how progressive da Vinci was within his designs. The power of mathematics and da Vinci’s mind brought humanity amazing new things and ideas. Though Da Vinci is most known for his superior artistic talents, he was also an inventor that incorporated mathematics into designs that were hundreds of years ahead of their time. The invention of a battle tank, robots and diving suits are all accredited to Leonardo da Vinci.
Leonardo Da Vinci grew up in Florence where at the age of twenty he was accepted into the Florences Guild of St. Luke as a master artist. This was just the beginning for Leonardo for he would later be recognized as one of the greatest artists, engineers, and scientist of all time. Throughout his life Leonardo explored all of these fields and through this he encountered many important discoveries. He was able to exchange some of these discoveries through his paintings as he popularized and created certain techniques through his paintings. He was also able to share some of his ideas of engineering because he was commissioned to work on many projects involving things such as: architecture, military engineering, canal building, and weapons design.

He thought it would be so much better for battles because i mean who wants to get shot at while trying to reload on the other hand with the 33-barreled organ while a soldier is shooting they can reload at the same time.
Leonardo Da Vinci’s unlimited desire for knowledge made him one of the most influential people to the development of the modern world. His prolific genius spanned virtually every field of study.

The Italian Renaissance signifies the transformation of society to the self aware, progressive society that First World Countries currently represent.

He is best known for his famous, thought provoking, painting the “Mona Lisa”, and despite being an accomplished artist, he was infatuated with the laws of nature and science.

Being an artist, I couldn't help but choose the option of looking at Leonardo da Vinci's discoveries. He was a genius scientist, inventor, engineer and artist, and a lot of his discoveries were based off of information he gathered from the Greek Renaissance and God's creation. He spent a good amount of time observing God's creations, such as the human body. During the Renaissance, many people began looking at the Greek art form and were enticed by their impeccable accuracy with the human body. People began to learn that the human body wasn't a tool for evil and was instead believed that the human body was God's most beautiful creation. People began painting the human body unclothed not to objectify it, but to give praise to God through the
I chose Leonardo da Vinci for my pioneer for his work in aerodynamics. First of all, he made many inventions including the “human powered ornithopter.” the machine used human power such as pedaling to power it in order to flap the wings. What leonardo proved was lift and aerodynamic and his blueprints were used by the famous wright brothers to make their model of the aip plane. Lucky for da vinci, he had no real competitors because what he was doing was almost never heard of. Da vinci used man power and gravity for his flying machine ideas.
The discovery I chose to study is art. "The work of Leonardo DA Vinci on perspective, light, shadows, and color in painting." Right now I am in a Humanities class and currently learning on the subject of the arts and how there are various different methods and ways artists use light, shadows and colors. Leonardo DA Vinci is famous for the ways he uses these methods in his own art. His motivations for his art was that he was concerned about the laws of science and nature. One of the methods he used to help him with his discoveries of art is that "he had tiny notebooks, which he carried around in his pocket so he could jot down ideas as he traveled. When he came home others can conjecture that he had two main piles of notes, which were large
