He worked diligently on his portraits using many new art techniques. His most brilliant works included The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Leonardo believed that for an artist to draw humans correctly, they would have to learn how they were put together from the inside and out. His journals were full of sketches of Anatomy on the human body, whether it was bones from veins, Leonardo sketched it all. Not only was the human body important, but so were plants. This led Leonardo to even do plant studies. Leonardo was a believer in new advancement in technology. Many inventions and dreams of flying filled his head. Great thinking led to great inventions such as The Flying Screw, a machine similar to helicopters and a Spring-driven Car. Leonardo not only had the qualities of a Renaissance man, but he also excelled in showing them through his exquisite pieces of art, studies of humans and plants, and brilliant, witty, thinking. All of Leonardo's marvelous and favorable Renaissance Man qualities lead to why Leonardo Da Vinci must be Mr. Renaissance Man 2019.

Aren’t you impressed with Michael Jordan?  He’s a man who has conquered so many different areas of life.  He is one of the best of all of time NBA basketball players; he was a minor league baseball player for the Chicago White Sox; he owned and managed numerous successful sports teams, and he has created a clothing brand that has lasted decades. Leonardo da Vinci is also an astonishing man just like Michael Jordan. He changed people’s lives and should be voted as the Renaissance Man in 2019. Da Vinci has persisted for the title of being an amazing artist, being very skilled in science, and creating many inventions that shaped humanity. To begin with, Da Vinci has proven himself throughout his work that he is an amazing artist. His diverse art spread around so many places such as France, Krakow, Florence, London, and more. The famous paintings you might know, such as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper were all hand made by Da Vinci. The skill level he has in painting is astonishing, and deserves a spot as Mr. Renaissance Man. Not only is Da Vinci a legend in art, he is also gifted in science. He dissected many humans to learn about the functions and abilities of the human body.  He also found many interesting facts about our health that helped prevent diseases. Lastly, he created many tools that changed the future. Some of his inventions include the dredger, military tank, parachute, battleship, mirror grinder, improved the printing press, paddle boat, helicopter, spring-driven car, and bridge canal. These inventions are still commonly used in our world today, even though he made them years and years ago. All in all, Da Vinci should have the title of Mr. Renaissance Man of 2019. Not only was he an artist, but he was also a scientist and inventor. As Michael Jordan said, “Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” Da Vinci made his dreams happen, earning Mr. Renaissance Man of 2019.

Leonardo Da Vinci should be the Renaissance Man of 2019 because he is the living definition of a Renaissance Man. A Renaissance Man is someone who can do everything and likes to learn about everything. Leonardo De Vinci was a painter, sculptor, engineer, inventor and so much more. He was good at all of it. He is famous for his paintings of the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. He used techniques that no one had ever thought of before. Some of them worked, like the Mona Lisa’s shading, and some of them didn’t, like The Last Supper’s painting materials. His paintings alone show that he was a Renaissance Man. He branched off from the regular and tried something new.  Leonardo was also an inventor and an engineer. He designed war machines and helicopters. His design for the helicopter would’ve worked if he had the right support and materials. His war machine designs landed him a job as an engineer for the Duke Ludovico Sforza.Leonardo had designs that he thought were so valuable that he created a new way of writing just to protect them. A Renaissance Man mustknow morethanone language. Leonardo invented his own language.  A Renaissance Man must dip into everything. Leonardo De Vinci was an engineer, inventor, artist, and sculptor. Leonardo De Vinci is the definition of a Renaissance Man.

A renaissance man is someone who has a passion for learning. Leonardo de Vinci is a true Renaissance man who worked hard to discover and learn as much as possible. As a kid, Leonardo de Vinci started out as a great artist and continued as one throughout his entire life. Leonardo was a master of many different art strategies such as Linear perspective, Chiaroscuro, sfumato, and Composition. Leonardo was also very well known for creating artwork with depth, and perspective. Leonardo went to Milan once to study art. While he was there, he sketched plants, animals, the human body, canals, people, contact lenses, bridges, parachutes and more. He drew them so he could learn more abot the world, just like any true renaissance man would.  In addition to art Leonardo had many other passions. In the magazine, Leonardo de Vinci, it states that often Leonardo would abandon an art project to work on another thing, because his interest constantly changed. One of Leonardo's many passions was coming up with a way to make humans fly. Leonardo carefully studied birds to see how he could design something, that would allow humans to fly as birds did. Leonardo designed models like the flying man, and the helicopter to make humans finally get off the ground. Leonardo also designed weapons for the duke and made other inventions to improve the way of life. Some of these inventions were, the mirror grinder, used to studying the human eye, the digging machine used to remove soil from digging ditches, and paddle boat, used to make the most efficient boats. Besides art, flying, and creating inventions, Leonardo also had a passion for the human body. Leonardo loved to sketch human anatomy. He also would dissect humans to learn more about them. Leonardo was someone wo loved to learn new things, which is why he is a true renaissance man.

Leonardo da Vinci, born April 15, 1452. Leonardo da Vinci was a true polymath. He studied science, anatomy, engineering, and art. He designed projects that wouldn’t even be thought of being a possibility hundreds of years in advance. He designed airplanes, submarines, and even better yet, he wrote there designs backwards. He did this so that no one would be able to steal his ideas unless they were smart enough to figure out the trick. He also, most famously, studied art. He created pieces like the Mona Lisa, and The Last Supper that are still awed at almost 600 years later. He also painted the Chapel of Magi, which was extremely difficult. Why? Because instead of painting on a canvas, he had to paint an entire building. Leonardo da Vinci should be the Renaissance man of 2019 because he didn’t just paint and sketch some machines. He studied the human body. He was the first artist to get the proportions in paintings of humans correct. He went to a lab to help dissect bodies and study them to investigate more about humans. This helped him to be able to know what proportions to use, and how to properly draw and paint human features. He also studied science and enjoyed music. He wasn’t just a one hobby kind of person. He liked all things, from simply music, engineering, and anatomy. Michaelangelo, Raphael, and other artist don’t stand a chance against Leonardo da Vinci. They were just sculptors and artist. They were not true polymaths. But Leonardo da Vinci? He was true Renaissance man.

You can find these on pages 6 and 7 in the Leonardo da Vinci Kids Discover magazine. Mr. Vinci, in his scientific point of view, studied anatomy and physics. He dissected a few dead bodies because he thought that the only way to know how a body works is to see what makes it work. You can find these on pages 12 and 13 in the Leonardo Discover magazine. Inventor Leonardo made many different inventions such as the flying machine, the paddleboat, and the parachute. Many of his inventions were too advanced for his time, though. You can find these on pages 10 and 11 in the Leonardo magazine. Vinci, as an architect, thought that overpopulation was a large problem, so he made many buildings and city layouts that would help. You can find this on page 13 in the magazine. The hero Leonardo da Vinci should be the Renaissance face for twenty nineteen because of his sublime arts, reality changing science, futuristic inventions, and Architectual design.

The winner of this year's Mr. Rennaissance Man is... an artist, engineer, scientist, inventor, musician... the one and only Leonardo da Vinci! In order to be a renaissance man, he must be smart and dedicated. The most famous artwork of all time was created by him. The Mona Lisa is a captivating art that makes anyone who dares to look her in the eyes feel suspense. “Leonardo believed that a person’s soul shows in his or her eyes,” according to Kids Discover magazine. But what do Mona Lisa’s eyes say about her? This question remains a mystery to this day. But he was not only a painter, but he also enjoyed sketching too. He combined his love of science and art. He believed in order to draw human beings, he must understand how they were put together. He was willing to do anything to gain more knowledge, even dissect. He sketched his discoveries for doctors to view, which was very helpful. Leonardo da Vinci was hard-working and a genius. If he doesn’t deserve the Mr. Rennaissance man, no one does.

Leonardo Da Vinci should be Mr. Renaissance man because he was a great artist, scientist and architect, and had other many unique accomplishments.

Da Vinci was very talented in many areas in arts. He was talented in music, art, and writer.  In music he created this instrument that was very similar to the lute and also created a unique drum and keyboard. In art he created the most famous painting in the word, The Mona Lisa. He also was assigned “painter of the duke.” In writing he had thousands of pages published in the 1880’s. Although he was very talented in the arts, he might have just been more talented in science and architecture.

Da Vinci was very gifted in science and architecture and invented many things that were way out of his time.  He had many inventions such as: the battleship, helicopter, an improved printing press, the parachute, a military tank, a bridge canal, and a digging machine. He actually used science and math in his paintings by using simple shapes such as circles and triangles to create balance in his pictures.

Da Vinci also had some fascinating facts about him that made him even more worthy of this award. First, he wrote in mirror handwriting meaning he wrote backwards. He did this because he was left-handed, and he didn’t want his hand to smudge the ink. Also, one of his notebooks, the Codex Leicester, sold to Bill Gates for 30 million dollars.

Leonardo Da Vinci should be Mr. Renaissance man because he was a great artist, scientist and architect, and had other many unique accomplishments. This why I believe that Leonardo Da Vinci deserves the award of Mr. Renaissance man.

Da Vinci also brought many artist techniques into the conversation. He used Linear perspective, Sfumato, Chiaroscuro, Fresco, and Aerial perspective to enhance his art even more. Da Vinci also incorporated science and technology into his art. When he painted the Last Supper, he used Fresco on it, or powder to make the paint not flake. Anatomy was also studied by Da Vinci because he wanted to learn everything about the human body so that he could accurately represent them in his paintings. Lastly, he was famous for capturing light and having attention to detail. Science and technology were also in his list of accomplishments. Da Vinci created many sketches of inventions such as planes, tanks, submarines, helicopters, battle ships, the bicycle, parachutes, the flying man, and many more astonishing things. This legendary man got to be the “Painter and Engineer of the Duke.” This was where he made public monuments and paintings for the city. He used both art and science when he made the sculpture, Horse and Rider. In addition to all this people said that Da Vinci was also very kind, charming, and generous. Leonardo Da Vinci deserves to be the Renaissance Man because of all that he contributed to our world.

The ultimate renaissance man: Leonardo Da Vinci. He represents everything that is done in this period. He is an artist, musician, scientist, and more. This man is the king of 500 IQ plays. He painted something that has been argued over for centuries, the most famous painting of all time, Lisa Giocondo, also known as the Mona Lisa. This man also created plans and blueprints for a giant crossbow 85 feet long, a battleship, a tank, a parachute, and even flying machines. He was so good at what he did that to avoid getting plagiarized, he wrote backwards. However, that might just be a technique for lefties to not smear ink. When he was at home, he would occasionally do city planning. He was like Einstein, but with art and music and before Einstein was born. He was great at everything he did, and he was amazing. This is why he should be renaissance man 2019. He was sponsored by powerful families and people like the Medicis. Now I hope you will choose him for renaissance man 2019.

I think that Leonardo DaVinci should be Mr. Renaissance Man because of the artist he was and the inventor. He was really smart and his inventions could not even be made in his time period. Davinci should get the renaissance man because of his inventions like the paddleboat, the spring driven car, and much more. He also was a great painter painting the most famous painting in the world called the mona lisa. He is a very successful man and should get this award. He was about 50 years ahead of his time. That’s why he should be Mr. Renaissance.

Leonardo Da Vinci was born in a time when humanity was still trying to let go of its old beliefs and fully embrace the Renaissance. When he became an adult, he was able to wow many people with his art. He deserves the Title of Mr. Renaissance Man because of his inventions, his artwork, and his other forward-thinking hobbies.

Many of Da Vinci’s inventions are forward thinking and were not invented until hundreds of years after his death. Some examples are parachutes, flying machines, and dredgers (machines that remove terrain from the bottom of rivers).

Da Vinci’s artwork has been described on looker for centuries as unique and beautiful. His most famous piece is the Mona Lisa, which thousands of people crowd around every day, even though it is only a molecule of the size a mural is across form it. He also did many beautiful Fresco and sculptures.

His other talents and hobbies include music, drawing the movement of water, anatomy of humans, city planning, studying plants, and cats. The number of things that he could do shows the true spirit of the Renaissance. That is that we can expand upon what we have and make our lives better. Also, that art is as important as anything else.

From the evidence that I share with you, Leonardo Da Vinci undoubtedly warrants the title of Mr. Renaissance Man 2019.

First, he was one of the best artists ever and changed the world as we know it with his artwork. Second, he was also a very smart inventor that made many designs we use today. Third, he was very skilled in science and discovered many new things.  Leonardo was a skilled painter because he added realism and humanism into his paintings, as well as color. In the Middle Ages most paintings were not realistic and were monochromatic in a way. Da Vinci also got many people to improve their paintings he created one-point linear perspective. Which revolutionized artwork by making it more realistic. He created the Last supper painting, depicting Jesus' last super with his apostles, it also used one-point linear perspective. Leonardo painted the most famous painting in the world The Mona Lisa. He also created many inventions from his sketchbook.   Da Vinci made many of the inventions we use today, but he never made most of his concepts. Some of the designs in his sketchbook you may be familiar with are; the bicycle, battleships, guns, and catapults. He made may more other designs, but the list would be too long. He made many designs that we still use today. Imagine what our world would be like if he didn’t come up with these inventions.   He was also into science and studied the human anatomy on real cadavers. He also liked cats and he played music. He drew cats in many of his pictures and sketches. He played the viola Organista which is similar to the organ, a giant piano with chutes for extra loudness. Although his instrument was much smaller and barely exceed the size of a modern grand piano.

My name is Leonardo Da Vinci, and I should be Mr. Renaissance of 2019. Mr. Renaissance should have many talents and love to learn. I am exactly that. I was born in Vinci, Italy, with a great natural talent for painting. Before I was even 14 years of age, I painted a dragon, and when my father saw it, he was truly frightened. After seeing the dragon, He believed that I was prepared to be an apprentice. He took me to the wealthiest city in Italy to be an apprentice to Adrea del Verrocchio, one of the leading artists in the land. I worked alongside her for 13 years while learning how to grind pigments, make brushes, draw, paint, and sculpt. I worked very hard and was singled out as one of the best apprentices. At age 30, I began sketching in notebooks. My thousands of pages, published in the 1880s, show my far-ranging brilliance. I startled many people because my pages were written in mirror writing. I did this to keep my thoughts private and to not smear ink everywhere. (I’m left-handed, so writing normally would’ve gotten ink everywhere.) I not only wrote these pages, but also painted many pieces. I painted a portrait of Ginevra de’ Benci, the Adoration of the Magi, part of the Baptism of Christ, the Annunciation, The Last Supper, a portrait of Cecilia Gallerani, The Virgin of the Rocks, and many more! Not only am I great at art, but I also have a great education and I’m very intelligent. I created drawings for the flying machines we use today! I also drew blueprints for an 85-foot crossbow, a chariot with revolving blades, the first ever bicycle, catapults, and many other war tools. Therefore, Mr. Renaissance of 2019 should be me, Leonardo Da Vinci.

The Renaissance Man Awards Committee should name Leonardo da Vinci the 2019 Mr. Renaissance. Leonardo is a talented painter, sculptor, scientist, engineer, inventor, architect, and musician. That’s seven things, and Leonardo is amazing at all of them. The following reasons are why he should be crowned Mr. Renaissance 2018. The first reason is that he is an amazing artist. He painted many works of art like the Last Supper and the Mona Lisa, which happen to be two of the most famous paintings in the world. The second reason is that he is an engineer and architect. Leonardo invented a giant crossbow, a chariot with revolving blades, and even a flying machine. In addition to that, he invented the paddleboat, the battleship, and the bridge canal. He even designed the first bicycle 300 years before it was made! My final reason is that he was a very talented musician. His friends said he had a beautiful voice, and he played the lira da braccio, an instrument similar to a lute. He also built a unique drum and keyboard. Overall, the reasons above state why Leonardo should be named the 2019 Mr. Renaissance.

A Renaissance man is described as a person that loves learning, knows many things, and shows a wanting for improvement in the world. Leonardo da Vinci shows this quality by trying many different jobs, perfecting difficult skills in art, and creating inventions to make life easier. Da Vinci worked in many jobs in his life including an inventor, musician, and artist. He perfected all of these jobs, as shown by the inventions such as the flying machine he made or one of the pieces of art, The Mona Lisa. Art in the Renaissance was improved and da Vinci’s artwork showed all the qualities of great art like Linear perspective, Aerial perspective, Sfumato, and Chiaroscuro.  He kept practicing to perfect these hard aspects in art, but since he knew so much in art, he should be voted a Renaissance man.  As well as being a magnificent artist, da Vinci wanted to make life easier through his inventions. Some of his inventions he made are the flying machine, similar to today’s helicopter, a paddleboat, and even a digging machine. For the helicopter or flying machine,  da Vinci created an invention without the technology that we have today that is still used in present day. From the qualities of a Renaissance man Leonardo da Vinci expressed, he proves to be voted Renaissance man 2019.

Leonardo Da Vinci: The Original Renaissance Man

# data[].attributes.body
I, Leonardo da Vinci, think that you should consider me for Mr. Renaissance Man of 2019. Firstly, I was an apprentice to an artist when I was 14. While I was there, I learned how to grind pigments, make brushes, draw, paint, and sculpt. I was extremely unique, because at 30 I began writing in journals. Yes, writing in journals isn’t unique, but I wrote them in mirror writing. Mirror writing is a form of writing where you can only read the message when you hold it up to a mirror. This was my way of becoming more advanced and of hiding my thoughts. Pretty cool right? Then finally, I needed to work so I got a few jobs. I made many things while working, these included sculptures, a flying machine, various art pieces, quite a few inventions, and some instruments. I was very dedicated to my work. For example, I once tried to make a sculpture of a man riding a horse. In order to do this, I studied horses’ bodies and movements for multiple years. I also was convinced at one point that humans could fly. Again, I put my time and dedication into this project by studying birds and their movements. After my studies, I concluded that humans did not have a muscle to flap wings, and so we could not fly. I did however try to make a flying machine. The product that I made looks like a modern-day helicopter blade. My goal was to use it to launch people up in the air, but sadly it did not work. My final reason is one of my greatest pieces of artwork, The Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa is said to have one of the most haunting smiles because nobody knows what it means. She is also said to have eyes that show deep into her soul, which is what I was trying to accomplish. Thank you for your time, and please consider me for Mr. Renaissance Man of 2019.
