Leonardo Da Vinci: Artist & Scientist
By: Nadine Amin
As you all know, Leonardo Da Vinci is known for his outstanding paintings such
as Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, but he was also a great mathematician. He loved
drawing geometric shapes, and studied civil engineering, architecture, zoology,
astronomy, geology, and many others. His life began when he was seventeen years old
and wanted to become a painter. While studying art, he broadened his studies and was
stunned by nature. He drew anything around him, like rocks, caves and fossils. He isn’t
known much for his science since one of the reasons he failed was because at his time,
many of the mathematic laws weren’t discovered yet, so his studies weren’t as accurate.
