| Sketchbook, Leonardo da Vinci |
From Leonardo's sketchbooks, we can see that he was a genius who was fascinated with all kinds of subjects: •Science, •Math , •Engineering , •Sculpture, •Architecture, •Botany (study of plants), •Music and Anatomy (study of the body). After viewing several examples of da Vinci's sketches of skeletons, students followed in the footsteps of both Leonardo and Gutenburg. First they drew a model of a skeleton, then traced it onto a foam printing plate. After inking the plate with a brayer, students "pulled a print."
