introduction

Best known for: leonardo is best known for being the best genius in history.

3 Key qualities strong mind, perseverance, learn from mistakes,

What I find interesting is that he would not eat meat because he liked animals so much.

I CHOSE THIS PERSON BECAUSE... he was good at a lot of things and he made inventions for the future.

Famous Quotation: ''in a brain of much reason; because here are the years of their growth numbered on their shells, and there are large and small once to be seen which could not have grown without food, and could not have fed without motion--and here they could not move."

I read thatpeople thought he was strange for example: he didn't eat meat because he loved animals so much.

I think it would be sad when people thought he was strange.

I read that he was gentle, handsome and loved animals. in fact he loved animals so much that he refused to eat meat. he loved horses the best of all animals.

I think he did that because he knew it would not be fun to die.

I read that he promised the duke of milan that he would make war maCHINES to protecT milan from the duke's eneMIES.

I THINK THAT WAS BRAVE BECAUSE if HE MADE SOMETHING THAT BLEW UP PART OF MILAN HE WOULD go to jail, instead his machines That helped Milan.

I read that He wrote down his scientific and technical observations. today 4000 pages survived. Leonardo wrote in mirror image script from right to left, he used peculiar spelling abbreviations, and they are not arranged in a logical order..

I think that's takes action because he wrote them for the future.

I read thatleonardo hated war and there was a lot of war in italy but not where he lived. Instead of going to war he painted and made his inventions.

I think he was always glad that he didn't live in other places of italy because he then would be in the middle of a war.

Leonardo da vinci always persevered when he made his inventions such as his helicopter, his calculat0r and his army base.

I think he was good at inventing because he usually wasn't able to work on one project for very long. other people were mad at him because they wanted him to do their portraits not his inventions.

I read that...He was good at a lot of the things he tried, such as art science and inventing. His most famous painting was the mona lisa [1503]. another is the last supper [1495-1497] and the virgin of rocks [1488].

I think He was trying to tell people that they could do amazing work and projects.

I read that he experemented to make more realistic paint when the paint didn't work he would know not to make it again.

I THINK HE DID THAT BECAUSE HE WANTED HIS PAINTED TO LOOK REAL.

PERSEVERED WHEN he was making art he wanted to inprove it.

He was gentle handsome and loved animals. In fact he loved animals so much that he refused to eat meat. He loved animals the best of all animals.

TOOK ACTION By showing what he could do by doing hard inventions like his helicopter and calculator.

MADE A DIFFERENCE WHEN he made a lot of inventions such as his helicopter and his calcualtor.

I'm A change maker when I...support my friends by

standing up for them on the bus.

I'm Similar to my changemaker because: I like

art and he does too.

My Change maker is

connected to pablo picasso because

they are both artists.
