• Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man
• The drawing and text shows the Proportions of
  Man,
• an example of the blend of art and science
  during the Renaissance. This image provides the
  perfect example of Leonardo's keen interest in
  proportion. In addition, this picture represents
  a cornerstone of Leonardo's attempts to relate
  man to nature. LilyG

• Leo invented the flying bat machine but the
  Wright bros made an actual one that flies. Leo
  thought of it first so whos the father(s) of
  that invention? BrandenD

• In order to study about anatomy and human bone
  structure, Leonardo dissected dead human body and
  studied how its muscle and bones worked. But
  Leonardo did it secretly, because he will be
  punished if caught for ruining the spiritual
  appearance of the human body. LindaY

• Leonardo the scientist bridged the gap between
  the shockingly unscientific medieval methods and
  our own trusty modern approach. His experiments
  in anatomy and the study of fluids(which I think
  is pretty cool), for example, absolutely blew
  away the accomplishments of his
  predecessors. SidaJ

• Leonardo is a fascinating person, he invented
  things that were ahead of his time. NicolasF

• Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo, a painter
  and also a sculptor of the famous statue of David
  were rivals, they hated each other. Sanskruti

• Did you know that the painting of the Mona Lisa
  in the Louvre in France has no eyebrows? SarahW

• Well having no eyebrows and no eyelashes in the
  Renaissance was considered beautiful. EricaA

• Now more scholars agree that Lisa Gherardini
  is actually the model in Leonardos painting the
  Mona Lisa.
• Another suggestion is that the woman in the
  Mona Lisa is actually Leonardo Da Vinci
  himself! SarahV

• What is beyond space? A question that has
  boggled scientists for years. The way I see it is
  that there is some end to it. I see as if a giant
  barrier of a worm hole surrounds space and once
  we hit that point, it warps us to the opposite
  side of space. What is beyond that? Well in
  religions, it's eternal happiness and torture.
  Heaven and hell which is infinite as in infinite
  happiness. This is my theory on what space is
  like. MichaelU

• ... did Da Vinci's parachute have a hole in the
  top?? We were looking at modern parachutes and
  most of them had a small hole in the top, but it
  didn't look like Leonardo's did! BaileyP

• Leonardo didnt believe the way the Catholic
  church told people to live and didnt really like
  it. ByronT

• Does anyone know if Da Vinci was actually in the
  Priory of Sion?? or was it just a fact made up
  from the book Da Vinci Code? Steve

• I believe the Holy Grail is not a cup, but is
  someone living today. A living descendant of of
  Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. "So dark, the
  con of man." SarahW

• Its amazing on how far ahead of his time da
  Vinci was but its kinda odd on how everyone is so
  obsessive about his painting of the last
  supper JennaG

• You know how Da Vinci could be counted as a
  prophet? Do you agree with that statement and
  why? I say he is a prophet because he actually
  "foresaw" traffic jams and designed the
  double-decker bridge. Also, he even made designs
  of horseless carriages/cars to go with it.

• I tried thinking of inventions and its hard. Da
  Vinci came up with so many...plus he designed
  them. I could come up with ideas but to design
  them as well...that would take me forever. I
  think that I now appreciate his inventions even a
  little more. CharlotteC

• Ive heard lots of people talk about some of his
  inventions and how he has based them on animals.
  Therefore I really wonder about his tank. How
  could he of come up with this idea for this, was
  it based on an animal or was it purely off the
  top of his head. TylerB

• Do you think that Leonardo had thought of his
  ideas to test his mind, then after he found out
  that his ideas could do serious damage he hid all
  his ideas so they could not be used
  irresponsibly? ReidR

• Wow, I was surfing the net for da Vinci things
  and found out that Leonardo established modern
  techniques of scientific illustration with highly
  accurate renderings such
• as the embryo of the womb. GarrettS

22
Da Vinci Project Web Dialogue

• Did you know that Leonardo actually knew that
  the sun didn't move but only the earth did? He
  says "Il sole no si muove." How do you think he
  knew that? He died in the 1500's and the earliest
  time the telescope was ever used for astronomy is
  in 1609! Yusuke

Da Vinci Project Web Dialogue

• Every once in a while I seem to find myself
  wondering if life is just a dream or not. Because
  we can never really PROVE that something exists,
  we can only believe that it does. I have heard a
  lot of things when it comes to theories about
  life and where we came from. EricaA

Before this project I always thought of him as
painter and not much of an inventor, but after
all the discussions and research for our project
a have learned he is much more than that.
