He’s known by the iconic pop art is the “drowning girl” which can see in store such as shirts sweaters with short caption since Liechtenstein got inspired with comic strips that had war and romance 


Something that people don’t know about him is that he was drafted into the army in 1943 his training was completed courses were engineering in de Paul university in Chicago and then serving as a clerk and a draftsman in Europe and then he was revived an honorable discharge in 1946

Another thing about him is during high school years he was very interested in music and played a clarinet and piano and later on he played in a jazz band.

He won the Bay Area Black Comedy Competition in 1991, that made him start being more known and led to a audition in Living Color. Another talent he has is singing, he has also famous tracks that went viral even songs that he just makes a feature in like for example “Gold Digger” by Kanye West in 2005 that song is still played to this day.]]> 2022-10-19 20:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/msutton6/69m6mk65kakeqkzw/wish/2347780008 Andy A-Tupac Shakur https://padlet.com/msutton6/69m6mk65kakeqkzw/wish/2347799851 Tupac is an example of a modern Renaissance man because of his poetry in songs he would make and how he would have meaningful and powerful messages and lyrics throw his songs. Another example is his skill to act he was as good as a actor as he is a rapper and poet he would appear or even star in movies bring huge audiences fans and others to his movies for example, Above The Rim,Juice,Gang Related and more. Also Tupac was also know to be a ballet dancing he attended Baltimore School and signed in for acting and later appeared on The Nutcracker in a school play playing as Mouse king.

1. Steve Jobs was the da Vinci in our time, as the visionary behind apple, he converted 4 industries which is something more than luck its genius.

2. He was the co-founder, chairman, ceo, of apple, the chairman and the majority shareholder of Pixar, he was a member of Walt Disney company’s board of directors following up with Pixar, and the founder and chairman and ceo of NeXT.

3. In 1985, Steve Jobs was forced to leave apple, after struggling with the company. The same year Jobs was forced out he took a few apple employees with him and found an industry called NeXT, its a computer platform development that mainly focused on computers for higher-education and business markets. ]]> 2022-10-19 20:41:43 UTC https://padlet.com/msutton6/69m6mk65kakeqkzw/wish/2347803447 Josue Gutierrez (Elon Musk) https://padlet.com/msutton6/69m6mk65kakeqkzw/wish/2347809076 1. Elon musk is a good entrepreneur and a great example of a Modern Renaissance Man. He runs two successful business’s called Tesla and Space X. Alongside two smaller start ups Neuralink and The Boring Company.

2. He is very smart because he’s always thinking about the future of what do to and what to change. He has a really successful business named Tesla.

3. I think that tesla is a really great idea because it helps out the environment a lot by not polluting. Teslas run on electricity and they don't equip any gas at all. These are some of my facts of why I think Elon Musk is a great example of a Modern Renaissance Man. ]]> 2022-10-19 20:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/msutton6/69m6mk65kakeqkzw/wish/2347809076 Julyan Martinez - Kobe Bryant https://padlet.com/msutton6/69m6mk65kakeqkzw/wish/2347815870 Kobe Bryant  I think is a good example, Kobe Bryant wasn’t just a outstanding basketball player but mentors coach and so many other things he always believed the best in people and he never gave up on his dreams Kobe was very inspirational and with his passing a couple years he will continue to be a very wise man. 

Kobe always was on top of his game he didn’t believe in failure he always tried to find a way to be better in any way he could he never stopped working hard. And that’s why he was so good at his sport he never stopped fighting in any challenge.

Off the court Kobe was a very wise man and new certain things people didn’t and help people get back on there feet if they were struggling. He was a very good coach and father. Kobe was a mentor to a lot of people and is very inspiring. And that’s something that will live on.]]> 2022-10-19 20:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/msutton6/69m6mk65kakeqkzw/wish/2347815870 Bill Gates - Joshua Ochoa https://padlet.com/msutton6/69m6mk65kakeqkzw/wish/2347818831 I think bill gates is a good example for a modern day renaissance man, he is a person who is skilled in multiple fields, he contributed his life to advance the world of technology, and he is the founder of Microsoft and also a philanthropist .]]> 2022-10-19 20:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/msutton6/69m6mk65kakeqkzw/wish/2347818831 Cesar Chavez - Yahriel https://padlet.com/msutton6/69m6mk65kakeqkzw/wish/2347823731 The best example of an modern renaissance man is Cesar Chavez.
