When one considers painters they may think nothing more than painters and that inventors are simply inventors. How can one person have an inventing and painting mind in one? The answer is Leonardo Da Vinci. I chose Leonardo Da Vinci because of the interesting life that he lived‚ his exceptional paintings‚ and for his ingenious inventions. Da Vinci lived in an age where no one studied the world around him in order to understand what a scientist proved. They merely took it as truth even though

We consider Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” to be one of the greatest works of art known to man. People discuss how perfectly proportionate her face is‚ and how great a portrayal of the human face it is. However‚ no one comments on a similar work of art from a much‚ much earlier time; “The Lady of Warka”. The Lady of Warka is considered to be the “Mona Lisa of Mesopotamia”.

When he was twenty-four years old‚ Leonardo was arrested‚ along with several young companions‚ on the charge of sodomy. No witnesses appeared against them and eventually the charges were dropped. It must be said that often anonymous charges like this were brought against people just for a nuisance. Renaissance Florentines didn’t make the distinctions we make about sexuality today and apparently it was common for young men to get into sexual relationships; in fact‚ the word "Florenzer" was German

The following movies that I decide on were Straight Outta Compton “NWA” Directed by F. Gary Gray and My Cousin Vinny Directed by Jonathan Lynn. Both films have their differences as NWA faces police harassment in 1987‚ and later caught the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to put a stop to discriminating local police officer.

The artist must expand his or her mind to engulf others. Octavio Ocampo has accomplished
