Leonardo Da Vinci
Da Vinci created many inventions, paintings, and even study many subjects. But he was mainly an artist. He painted the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. But those weren’t his only paintings he had many more. These were just the painting that most inspired people to paint like him. (Mona Lisa). He was also an engineer and sketch many machines. His most famous ones were his flying machine, submarine, and clock. (Ornithopter). He also learned more about the human body. Which is also known as anatomy. He would dissect and do autopsies on people to see what the inside of people's bodies looked like. He sketched many drawings of what organs and bones looked liked. (Sooke). Leonardo Da Vinci had many contributions to the renaissance, but what had more influences on the people today and back then are his paintings, engineering, and anatomy.

He created new kind of artwork compared to the artist’s of his time. He made three-dimensional art and people of his time were more into two-dimensional creations. Da Vinci learned how to use vanishing point in his art. Vanishing point is creating a three dimensional work of art on a two dimensional surface, which gives the painting or drawing more depth to it. His works caused many other artists to create work of arts like this. By him using vanishing point in his paintings made other people use his technique in the present and the past. The two paintings that most influenced people are the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. (Mona
Leonardo da Vinci was a significant artist because he brought us important inventions. In sentence 6 of the Leonardo da Vinci DBQ it says, “Besides painting masterpieces, Leonardo made scientific studies, dissections, observations, and research on engineering and anatomy.” This shows that not only was Leonardo da Vinci great at painting, but he was also great at inventing and many
Leonardo Da Vinci was a famous Italian Renaissance polymath painter and sculptor. He was born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy. He lived with his father, Piero Fruosino di Antonio da Vinci. Da Vinci was an only child until he was 25. He was an apprentice for Andrea di Cione, known as Verrocchio. When Da Vinci was 20 he worked on his first painting. In 1479, he moved to Florence, Italy. He did a painting in 1480 and never finished it. In 1482, he moved to Milan, Italy. While he was in Milan he volunteered to be a military engineer. He did many paintings while he was in Milan. Da Vinci won the duke over in 1489. He got to do the horse sculpture that he wanted to do. He did not get to finish it, because they got attacked by the French
Along with his sketches of the human body, he also had thousands of pages of inventions that were the foundations for many things that are used today. One of his sketches was of a flying machine that resembles a modern helicopter. He was believed to study birds and bats and the ways that they flew. Taking what he learned about aeronautics, he created a sketch of a flying machine 500 years before the Wright brother’s created their model of the airplane and were the first to fly. Another of da Vinci’s sketches was the machine gun. “Although he did not create the machine guns that are used today, he did invent the first weapon which fired volleys at rapid intervals.” The gun was a portable and fast weapon with a lot of firepower. This invention of da Vinci would have been extremely important for armies during battle. While working with Ludovico Sforza, da Vinci proposed the ultimate war machine, a tank. His drawing showed a large armored structure with guns poking out of each side. “The guns, firing in all directions, would have been devastating to enemy ranks.” These are just a few of the thousands of inventions da Vinci came up with. Even though he never actually created these things, his drawings were building blocks for the tools we use
Leonardo Da Vinci was a true Renaissance man. He was an inventor, a scientist, a mathematician and a painter. He had the mind and visions of a thinker centuries ahead of his time. Hundreds of years later, he is still one of the most recognized and iconic people in the world, known for his Paintings like the Mona Lisa and changed the way paintings and art were created. But one success Da Vinci had that is not as well known as his iconic art such as the Last Supper are his inventions. Leonardo Da Vinci's genius achievements in his creations sketches, and ideas of inventions were able to impact generations of people in the future significantly, but his inventions did not impact much of world history.
Leonardo Da Vinci’s occupation was a painter. Some of Leonardo Da Vinci’s contributions to society was some of the greatest paintingsof all time plus many inventions we still use today he also had many small contrbutions like other less known paintings. Leonardo da Vinci has made many contributions to society. Most of his majior benifits are paintings and inventions. He is more known as a artist because he has made more of them and they are more well known than most of his inventions.
What were some interesting points of leonardo da vinci’s life? Leonardo was a very interesting painter who managed to do so much more.

Everyone has at least one role model; others may have more than one. Do you have a role model that you look up to? Leonardo Da Vinci is my role model. He’s known for being many things such as a painter, inventor, geologist, and much more. Who said that you’re role model has to be alive? If someone inspires you to become them, you should choose that person.
Since I am taking the Beauty and Creativity class along with science this summer I decided to go over the topic of "The work of Leonardo de Vinci on perspective, light, shadows, and color in painting". Just like in science art uses almost the same way of discovery as science. Of course they do not use the scientific flowchart like we do, but they do use others ideas to come up with new ideas. This is apparent especially in painting. If we look at the time line Leonardo Di Vinci was born in the time of 1452-1519. This was right in the middle of the renaissance. There were many events and many different styles of painting that led up to the oils that Di Vinci used. For example the paintings of Van Eyke proved to be very important to the style
He also had a strong influence on many leading artists, including Raphael and Michelangelo. Leonardo did many things to contribute to the Renaissance. He drew many detailed inventions, such as the flying machine. He quite possibly was the genius of Renaissance. All the things that he has done have helped doctors, scientists and even normal people like us today.
Leonardo Da Vinci was a successful man in more areas than artwork. From the time he was a boy, he began studying the arts as well as the ideas of science, medicine, machinery, and much more. Da Vinci’s history is reflected in his paintings and inventions that have been able to change the world of then and now. Leonardo’s artistic vision led him down a prosperous path of life that has made him one of the most innovative individuals the world has seen. With the help of a lot of childhood exposure to the arts, along with the natural creativity born inside of him, Leonardo Da Vinci changed the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries through his work.
As an artist myself, I have always had a fascination with Leonardo da Vinci. He was not only an artist, but also a scientist, an engineer, a mathematician, and so on: a true renaissance man! According to Upgren, “One of his many contributions to the world is his prominent use of chiaroscuro. Chiaroscuro, the treatment of light and shade, is a technique used in art to produce the illusion of depth and for a dramatic effect. It no doubt arose from observations of nature, and certainly of the night sky.” Because of his interest in and observations of nature, he noted that light affected tone and shade of color, and to achieve a sense of realism in painting, one would need to portray that affect of light.
I was very intrigued to learn more about Leonardo Davinci and his discovery on the different kind of elements found in art. I am an art major and although I learn about these artist and their inspirations all the time. I always love to continue research on them because it fascinates me. It’s amazing how most of the greatest artist came from way back then. They didn’t have technology like we have so I feel like they were more inspired and more Intune with creativity. In one of the articles I found in my researching it seemed to me that Leonardo was motivated somewhat by shadows. Shadows come in very different shapes and sizes. It has different perspective. It can change depending on the kind of light that is hitting it. Leonardo also looked
Well you want to know about Leonardo da vinci. Let’s talk about him. Leonardo da vinci was born April 15, 1452. He then died on May 2, 1519 at the age of 67. Leonardo da vinci was known for his art and science smartness. It was honestly insane how smart he was by the time he was 18. When he was 18 he was doing all kind of sorts of stuff that was almost impossible. When Leonardo da vinci was 5 years old he was taken from his mom. He had very very little education but when he was 14 he was interested in anatomy which is the study of the human body. He was studying bones and all that is in the body and how it functions. When he saw what the human body looked like he then drew very detailed drawing in his notebooks. When he would them though he would draw them backwards. With all of the objects that he had seen with exploring a lot he found objects to make different machines or vehicles. When he would draw in the notebooks he would draw so many things that it kind got overwhelming. When he would draw some of the drawing he got so many ideas he couldn’t remember some of them because there were so many. When he would draw in his notebook he would just draw those things he would also do his sculptings and his weapons of war. He was also the one who painted one of the most famous paintings. The mona lisa. Around 1495, Ludovico Sforza, then the Duke of Milan, commissioned to leonardo da Vinci to paint ‘the last supper’ on the back wall of the dining hall inside the building of
Leonardo Da Vinci is my hero because he was a one of the greatest military engineers, Inventors, and architects during the Renaissance. Being As Military Engineer, Leonardo Da Vinci created the first machine gun, bombs, an armored car which is presently known as the tank. As An Inventor, he built the first helicopter, parachute, pulleys, and other mechanisms to understand motion and force. Leonardo Da Vinci was also an architect; when he designed the first dome on top of buildings, and created the first modern bridge in 1503. When Leonardo Da Vinci always wondered how birds flew, he would researched and dissected dead birds wings and learned about flying, then he designed pedal power wind which he called "the air screw".
