Da Vinci Project What makes Leonardo da Vinci so abnormal? Leaving people flabbergasted? One of the many reasons is because Leonardo was inspiring he once said "... painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen." For someone who never married or linked with anyone his art shows such passion, love and dedication. His science is another great example of dedication considering he had some of his apprentices jump off tall buildings to test his crazy, wonderful flying machines. Leonardo led a truly inspiring life as an artist and scientist.
Leonardo led a very creative life in the town of Vinci, Italy. Leonardo di ser da Vinci was born on April 15th, 1452. He died in France, in the arms of the French King. …show more content…
Da Vinci can be classified as a scientist because he was a brilliant inventor and astronomer. He dissected the human body which was illegal at the time punishable by death. He studied animals and plants too. Leonardo da Vinci had the first concept of the parachute. But it's cloth part was not big enough to catch air, and their was too much wood. It was designed to catch air and slow a fall. He discovered where things were like bones, the brain, muscles, veins, and the heart. He was one of the first people that knew this type of stuff because, as I said before, it was illegal to cut open bodies. But, dissecting bodies made him more knowledgeable in the field of medicine. In Mr. da Vinci's notebook that he carried with him everywhere he went and he wrote backwards to keep people from what they couldn't understand. For example, he wrote the sun does not move backwards because in that time period most of the population thought the sun moved around the Earth. Leonardo's discoveries in science and medicine are still helping the doctors and inventors in our world
