Hwk help!!?

WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD CONCLUSION FOR THIS PAPER???



“He more than any other, embodies the idea of the “Renaissance Man,” a person who versed in many different fields of knowledge and endeavor.” He, in this quote is from the International Dictionary of Art and Artists, refers to the great, the brilliant and the one who’s worth remembering, Leonardo da Vinci. He has influenced a great number of people to paint, to design buildings, to engineer, to think. He showed people through colors. He taught us how to look at the world through his wondering eyes.



Leonardo da Vinci, also known as Leonardo di Ser Piero da Vinci, was born on 1452, during the Renaissance period. His mother was a peasant girl and his father was a lawyer. Da Vinci was a painter, engineer, botanist, and an anatomist. He enjoyed and he was fascinated in how the human body performed. He loved studying horses and he was very fascinated in flight. The scientific theory and the practical used of science was another interest as well. In addition to learning human anatomy, da Vinci also studied frogs, pigs, oxen, monkeys, dogs, lions. He had a technical art, which may have begun in Florence, Italy, when he was an apprentice. He did not know Latin. He learned it later in Milan. Da Vinci’s father apprenticed him to one great artist in Florence, Andréa del Verrocchio, when Da Vinci was fourteen years old. Leonardo’s training with Andréa was done in 1472, when Leonardo was around twenty years old. Leonardo was not the only apprentice there. Lorenzo di Credi, Sandro Botticilli, and Pietro Perugio are just some of the names of the people who were there. “He is described as tall and handsome, graceful in all his actions, and apparently had a good singing voice, and the official records show that he was accused once of some homosexual scrape” (Bronowski 186).



He began his notebooks when he was thirty years old. Da Vinci recorded his thoughts, his ideas and his designs in notes. His thoughts were also delivered in



designs or drawings. His drawings mostly showed the study of humans, nature and machines. He used two ways to express himself. He used mirror writing and he was being creative yet hard to understand what he wrote. Mirror writing is writing backwards, right to left. It is not a secret handwriting. His notes were about anatomy of horses, perpetual motion and a deluge. A deluge is a huge flood of water. He dissected a baby in a drawing. The image on the left was drawn to give an



example of how the human figure looks like.



Leonardo painted a lot of things. His most remembered painting is the Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa is a piece of a mystery. She comprises the “dream –like quality as elusive as the woman herself” mentions the International Dictionary of Art and Artists. Both the landscape and the Mona Lisa are mystic. Mona Lisa embodies a great model that represents the parallelism between women and landscape. Some people believe the lady in the painting is the wife of Florence banker, some believe she is the wife of Francesco del Giocondo, or some believe that she is a man in disguise. She sits on a veranda. Her glance observes you; it follows you where ever you go. The Mona Lisa is a good example of Leonardo’s study of landscape and human anatomy.



Leonardo da Vinci was and still is a great man. Through his years, he influenced the word. He will be always remembered and so will his precious artwork.

So in conclusion, Leonardo Da Vinci was an inspiration to all and always will be. His contributions to modern society forever changed the world.

I would use the first paragraph: take it and put it at the end, just before the last three sentences ("LdV was and still is a great man...precious artwork"). Together, they make a wonderful conclusion and the structure of the paper remains in tact also if you start with the life of Leonardo.
