Successcriteria
Accelerates students’ progress when they know what the intended outcome is and are able to judge the quality of their own work and how to improve it.
Ask your child:
• What do you need to do to improve in subject X?
• Do you have success criteria you can show me? (You could ask your child to annotate their work using the success criteria, or to pause whilst working and reflect on their progress with the success criteria.)

Leonardo Da Vinci Leonardo Da Vinci is one of history’s most renowned artists. His name may sound familiar from his art or from the film 'the Da Vinci Code' based on one of his paintings, however 'Da Vinci' could mean anyone from the town of Vinci as that's what it means Leonardo from the town of Vinci. Leonardo was born on the fifteenth of April 1452. His mother was called Caterina and it is believed she worked in the house of his father. Leonardo was born out of wed lock so had very few options available to him. He did not receive a proper education because of this. Most of his works are unfinished, due mainly to his approach. He followed a very scientific method to his art. He would study a subject, sometimes for months to get it exactly right. He would observe, then make notes then re-evaluate before starting his piece. If he was studying a plant he would first need to understand its genetics and how it lived before starting his piece. This meant he would find a new project and be motivated and inspired and leave the project he was working on. He would take the money for the projects even though he did not finish them. This came back to haunt him in Milan when a court ordered him to finish a painting he started 20 years earlier. The Mona Lisa has always caused discussion as to whether she is smiling or sad. During their sittings Leonardo would have musicians playing and joking while he painted so she didn't get bored. Although her husband commissioned the painting he never got it as Leonardo carried it around for 15 years as it was 'unfinished'. He was commissioned by the Pope to paint but after 7 months he had done no painting but had created a varnish from herbs! He was the first man in the world to make a mechanical toy that moved independently. It was a lion which he made for the King of France. He also did a lot of studying of the human body. Due to his scientific interest he even went into dissection and was the first person to study each organ individually. Whilst doing this he was the first man to discover the heart works like a muscle. The Last Supper is one of his most famous paintings. The film The Da Vinci Code is based around this painting. He didn't use water paints on wet plaster to paint like other artists he used his own recipe of oil based paints which did mean the painting started to deteriorate. He would paint for 3-4 days without eating, drinking or sleeping then just stare at it for days. After 3 years of painting it a friar complained that it was taking him too long. Leonardo explained that he had been studying low lifes for weeks to find the right face for Judas but the friar’s face seemed to fit!
