Leonardo da Vinci

This month’s My Artist Box celebrates Leonardo da Vinci, a man who was an engineer, an architect, a scientist, an inventor, and one of the most iconic artists of the Renaissance.

In this box, young artists will have the opportunity to create like never before! They’ll put a modern pop-art twist on Mona Lisa and turn crumpled paper into a reproduction of a page from Leonardo’s 500-year-old notebooks. Paper won’t be their only medium, though. They’ll mix up a plaster-like paste and try out the fresco technique. In the final project, they’ll use a mix of art and engineering skills as they piece together Leonardo’s self-supporting bridge.
