EXTRA CREDIT: Halloween

  For the class we had on Halloween, my group decided to dress up as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The show's main characters are all named after famous Renaissance Painters, so we decided to each pick a turtle, and then present to the class on our specific painter. I dressed as Leonardo, also known as Leonardo Davinci, who was most famous for his Mona Lisa Painting. Below are notes of the presentation to the class.

Teenage mutant ninja turtles- all named after the celebrity painters from the renaissance era 

- developed new techniques in painting, sculpture, and architecture

- refined many techniques from previous periods

- michaelangelo, leonardo, and raphael- not mentioned donatello

Leonardo Davinci-

- April 15, 1452,- May 2, 1519

- the ultimate "renaissance man"- studied a wide range of topics- from science to art to math

- most famous for mona lisa painting- which you can see in the louvre in paris

-believed that sight was mankind’s most important sense and that knowing how to see was crucial to living all aspects of life fully- believed drawing/art was an exercise that taught you how to see

- was a military engineer who invented advanced weapons- he saw science and art as complementary rather than distinct disciplines

- one of the greatest painters of the italian renaissance yet only left a handful of completed paintings (less than 20) because he never published his ideas- i think this is super interesting because a lot of people have at least heard his name, but he doesn't even have many paintings- reminds me of one hit wonders- one song goes viral and then they are never heard again
