Imagine you are born in 1452 as the illegitimate son of a legal specialist‚ and a peasant woman.

One must look no further than the genius’s manuscripts and notebooks for evidence that da Vinci was intensely curious about some of the world’s most ordinary elements. Studies of the human body‚ certainly among the most familiar of forms‚ are likely the master’s most replicated composition. Perhaps it is no coincidence the Italian’s Vitruvian Man pen-and-ink sketch ranks among

In Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man‚ he created the art piece to find the geometrical properties to determine the perfect human proportions when it comes to drawing them out. The original piece has a square and a circle inscribed in the ink piece that tells how the human body is able to fit perfectly in a mathematical way. da Vinci never really had the intentions to create such a mathematical art piece‚ but it somehow came along to stay. In this project‚ I re-created the famous piece‚

Sample Lab: The Vitruvian Man Purpose: The purpose of this investigation is to measure the arm span‚ in centimetres‚ and the height‚ in centimetres‚ of Grade 11 IB Biology students and determine if there is a significant difference in the means of the two measurements. Hypothesis: IF the arm span and height of Grade 11 IB Biology students are measured and the means compared‚ THEN the mean of the arm spans will be the same as the mean of the heights. This is expected BECAUSE in Leonardo da Vinci’s
