Why
is this person important?
Leonardo da Vinci was a
painter, a sculptor, architect, and engineer. He was a main influence in the
Italian Renaissance era. He contributed in two different fields: art and
science. His contributions were different than any other because of the way he
connected the art and science together in way that could be seen as a “creative
dualism”. His four main focuses were painting, architecture, mechanics, and an
outline of human anatomy. These contributions not only helped in the field of
science, in accordance to the 1.5:1 ratio which is known as the “Golden Ratio”,
it also worked towards influencing the future art in a dramatic way.

If
you could meet this person, what would I ask them?
Is Mona Lisa
smiling or not? Also, what drove you to your focus on the connection of science
and art?
Do
you think the fact this person was Italian played a role in his/her
achievement?
The fact that
Leonardo da Vinci was Italian played a major role in success. Not only has this
played a major role, but the time period made a major impacted as well.
Leonardo da Vinci lived during the time of the Renaissance, which was a period
of exponential artist growth. In addition to the focus on artistic growth, the beginning
of the Renaissance also started in Italy, which was the center of the most
attention. In this way, the fact that Leonardo da Vinci lived during the
Renaissance as well as in Italy irrefutably made an impact on his fame.
