Leonardo DaVinci

In January, I like to begin our studies of different artists. The second graders learned about the Renaissance and an artist named Leonardo DaVinci . We learned about all the areas that he liked to study and how he was known as an inventor. Each student then worked on creating their own inventions. Many of the students even practiced writing their notes backwards just like DaVinci!

Did you know the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were named after Renaissance Artists?!?
