For the final project I will compare two works of art and think about the theme they share and how they fit in with contemporary ideas and events. The visual work of art that I have chosen is Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci. He drew this around 1490 and it is considered to be a Renaissance piece. It helps explore the human body in a little more detail. The literary work I have chosen is The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, which is a collection of da Vinci’s notes from throughout his years. I will

complete drawings contributing to his greatness as a draftsman (Mends). What makes his work unique is his ability to see the dimensions in movement or axis on which a body, either human or animal moves. Take for instance, The Vitruvian Man, exhibits the ideal proportions of man, the sketch of the neck that illustrates all the tendons and vertebrae’s, the child in the womb, and the study of a horse. His sketches illustrate the movements he was able to visualize and capture on paper

during the Renaissance period. Some of the those very pieces Leonardo da Vinci created. One of more popular ones he created is The Vitruvian Man. The piece of art has become more popular with time and people are still astonished by Leonardo’s skills. Leonardo and The Vitruvian Man are an important part of the Renaissance. There may be other drawings like The Vitruvian Man but none like Leonardo da Vinci’s. As it says on the Totally History website, the 1487 drawing was done in pen and ink. Two male

science might give now a day doctors and studiers of the human body a strong base to create their own knowledge. Some of the drawings include a fetus in the womb, circulation of blood in the body and a dissection of a man. Other drawings of nature were a bird in flight and the Vitruvian man which both described anatomy and the way mechanics work in nature.

academic context) lacks the discomfort associated with a naked body. Instead in the classical era, the nude portrayed the ideal body – one which embodied the sensuality of human form, the rationality of mathematics, and the divinity of God in relation to man. In this way the nude became a key development in the classical era and then again in the Renaissance period as an expression of how a human ought to live; of an ideal human condition and – even more importantly – an ideal human form.

Just by the sound of it, it seems so easy to understand that a population that is of diverse nature definitely requires a corresponding diverse environment upon which it can thrive and succeed. This philosophy rules out the whole idea as to why architects are continuing to come up with one size fits all design environments. The question is as to whether their main intention is to create and or trying to ensure equality. But as already set, the society is composed of a diverse population, which is

on scientific knowledge, specifically, human anatomical studies. Growing knowledge of human anatomy enabled artists to produce more realistic-looking works of art. It is even said that Leonardo da Vinci, often considered to be the model “Renaissance Man”, believed that the “moral and ethical meanings of his narrative paintings would emerge only through the accurate representation of human gesture and expression” (“The Enduring Relationship of”, 2003). As the body was only viewed as a transient vessel

the most important scientific discoveries in history! Leonardo was an artist, a scientist, and an inventor in the medieval times. He is sometimes referred to as, the renaissance man. Leonardo Da Vinci loved nature and science. He had a special interest in anatomy. Leonardo Da Vinci, created the masterpiece, Vitruvian man, to show how the marvelous human form is proportioned, and examined dead corpses of both humans and animals, while recording his findings in his works. Leonardo Da Vinci was born

always just numbers to me. Art to me is something that is subjective at best, I love the craftsman style that doesn’t mean everybody does. Below is my interpretation of this week’s readings. Renaissance I am not sure if you would express [1] “Vitruvian Man” by Leonardo da Vinci as a work of art, undoubtedly this is a clear-cut display of scientific knowledge. This drawing by Da Vinci is about proportions in the human body. Leonardo is responsible for the sketch and the notes were provided by the
