His creations and innovations were eclectic and connected to human’s limitless sense of imagination. From a young age, he had incessant curiosity leading to him delving into innovations, paintings, art, history from a young age and spent hours through his day and night exploring these areas making him a master of these fields and epitomizing himself as the “Renaissance man”. ]]> 2018-07-07 05:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/avenkatr/5h2utqpxcael/wish/269602352 ART avenkatr https://padlet.com/avenkatr/5h2utqpxcael/wish/269604128 Leonardo was extremely skilled in drawing and painting and sculpting.  He sketched prolifically and with intricacy leading to his interests in other fields.
