...Leonardo da Vinci By Tanner Bries My artist that I chose was Leonardo da Vinci. I chose him because I like some of his work on architecture that was advanced for his time. If it wasn't for him we probably wouldn't have tanks or planes to defend and transport. Leonardo was best known for two paintings, The Mona Lisa and The last supper are his most famous. Leonardo had 17 half brothers and sisters. When he was a teenager his dad told him to paint a shield. He wanted to draw something scary. It was a head that looked really disgusting. It was said then that his dad knew he would be a artist. He often never completed what he started. In 17 years when he was older he only got 6 pieces done. Leonardo da Vinci was born April, 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy....

He typified the free spirit and zest for life and nature of the ultimate Renaissance man.” He was an extraordinarily genius who applied the scientific method to every aspect of life, including art and music. His thirst for knowledge did not stop there he also advanced anatomy to unknown levels. Initially, Leonardo learned anatomy from the old Greeks and Romans. He was a scientist studying anatomy, but that didn’t stop him from creating magnificent portraits. “So Leonardo, the anatomist in his post-mortem dissection laboratory, also breathed life into the inert anatomical form.” Leonardo...

To do this, one must first know what Leonardo Da Vinci, wanted and at the time he wanted it. During this time most information came from the Bible or through the writings of other scientists.

He knew with this knowledge he could find out so much more about the world he lived in. "Leonardo Da Vinci was born on April 15th, 1452 in Vinci,...

...I chose to research and study Leonardo da Vinci and his contribution to the world of art, specifically painting, through the principles of design: perspective, light, shadows, and color. I most certainly believe that Leonardo da Vinci was an artistic genius who was called before the world was to enlighten and bless us with his inspiration from God. According to “Leonardo da Vinci: the complete works”, he was a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician, and writer. As far as his skills as a painter, he was a master with the use of certain elements of design such as perspective, light, shadow, and color. The motivation that led to his exceptional discovery of these important design principles was his observation. He very well implemented the scientific approach to learning. The Museum of Science instructs us that he “took a scientific approach toward understanding how our world works and how we see it.” With curiosity he closely observed nature, animals, people, and landscapes and then went to work...

...LEORNADO DA VINCI AND HIS ART [pic] His early childhood Leonardo da Vinci is usually regarded as an artistic genius who possessed great ability in art and understanding of the human physical features and natural sciences as depicted in his art. Leonardo da Vinci was also an accomplished musician and scientist. No other artist of his generation had such exceptional ability and left behind such a wealth of graphic work. He was somehow controversial and as a young man he was accused of being a homosexual (Frank Zöllner 2002 p.7). However even though most of his works were of exceptional quality he had a tendency of not finishing his works and sometimes fled due to social problems. Leonardo da Vinci was born in 15th April 1452 in the village of Tuscan in Florence (Leonardo 2002 p 3). He was the son of ser piero da Vinci, a young lawyer and Caterina. He was of noble origin form his mother’s side (Leonardo 2002 p 4). His mother bestowed upon him not only the beauty of his person but also very many other gifts that placed him high above ordinary people. It is said that he was somehow a genius and usually solved with ease whatever he put his mind to (Leonardo 2002 p 4). When he was still young he enrolled in the study of very many different things but he usually abandoned them once he had jut began to know them. One of the courses he studied was arithmetic and after a few months he had understood it so much that he used to come up with problems and difficulties which...

...marketing campaign, a new invention not put to market is not an innovation. Many inventions do not succeed due to the lack of market research. Successful innovations often disrupt an established technology, meaning that the established technology becomes obsolete, or much less used, and it us the disruptive innovation which takes over. In this paper we will see how Robotic surgery disrupts the traditional human surgery process. Robotic surgery offers small incisions, instruments that bend further than the human wrist, and an enhanced view due to its magnified 3D high-definition. It is highly beneficial due to its reduced chance of bleeding and infection, fewer post-operative complications and a faster recovery. The only commercialized robot in robotic surgery is the Da Vinci surgical robot, which is a production of Intuitive Surgical. The medical domain has already accepted a lot of innovations, it is a domain that has greatly evolved, our health being one of the most important things in life, a lot of research is made around it, and the government is often part in its funding’s. The most revolutionary innovation in the health care center is robotic surgery, which now looks to disrupt the human procedure of surgery, and replace it with robotic surgery. Robotic surgery however still demands the help of surgeons, who are needed to control the da Vinci, the surgeons operate virtually behind a computer station where they can guide the various arms of the robot, and assist the surgery...

I also did some in-class activities and I did learned something and gained some experiences. Except the activities I did in class, I also went outside and got involved with social community.

When I looking at the picture, and when I described the picture, I included the story and history of this painting in order to understand the picture better. The second paper was museum walkthrough guide. This paper was what I liked the most since it was so interesting and fun to write this paper. I went to the museum on the campus and spent about three hours for observation and taking notes. I walked around the museum and visited the museum from the first floor to the third floor.

...to stop the zombie apocalypse. I also picture Beaker from the Muppet show. He did a wonderful job forming an image of what a scientist probably was to me as a child. He was insecure and he made a mess. My cousin is a scientist so then there is an image of this very stern but sarcastic guy testing and testing and retesting. That image sounds so boring but I’m grateful there are brilliant minds like him out there. Scientist come in many different forms. They study and discover many different things. Over time there have been many types of scientist and they weren’t all wearing lab coats. Leonardo da Vinci was one I found interesting due to my love of art. He combined art and science in his sketches. He has amazing futuristic designs and even envisioned flight. Sadly he was a chronic procrastinator and had frequent disasters with his experiments of new techniques (Leonadoda-Vinci). Galileo Galilei was an Italian scientist who developed the telescopes and started to observe the solar system. He was a pioneer of observations for modern physics and astronomy (Biography). Emanuel Swedenborg was a scientist who lived from (1688-1772). He is very interesting to me as he is one of the founders of Modern Spiritualism. His scientific work had plans for flying machines. He wrote books on chemistry, physics and the first book in Swedish on algebra (Swedenborg)....
