I found this surprising because i never knew that doing chores would do you good for example you learn life and even art skills. The text sates “like all new apprentices, he started his training by doing simple chores. He swept, cleaned, mixed paints, and ran errands. Soon, however, he bagan to learn the skills he would to work his way up from apprentice to master craftsman.” This proves that if the apprentices all wanted to be a craftsman then they would have to learn the skills for their future.]]> 2018-03-26 14:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246114553 jhenny2468 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246114603 Based on my reading on the text Excerpt from Leonardo da Vinci Renaissance Genius by Barbra O’Connor what I found interesting, surprising, or confusing is when the text said, “ He swept, cleaned, mixed paints, and ran errands. Soon, however, he began to learn the skills he would need to work his way up from  apprentice to master craftsman. He made brushes from animal fur and pens from goose quills. From sprigs of grapevine, he prepared charcoal for drawing. He helped apply plaster to walls for murals called frescoes. He learned how to mix egg yolk with ground pigments to make a paint called tempera and how to prepare wax needed for sculpture. He even mastered the skills of goldsmithing and metalwork. I found this confusing because the people made the apprentice people do all of those things]]> 2018-03-26 14:48:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246114603 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246114993 I found it surprising that at first he did not know how to do art and today he is known for it. In the text it says “Leonardo knew nothing about art”. This shows that he did not know art. I found this surprising because I figured he would be a natural considering he’s know for some of his art.]]> 2018-03-26 14:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246114993 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246115313 Based on my reading of the text Excerpt from Leonardo da Vinci: Renaissance Genius I found it surprising that such a famous artist was an apprentices. In the article it claims “ The younger apprentices, like himself, swept the floors and cleaned brushs and mallets.” This explain Leonardo da Vinci was once a apperenries himself. This is what I found intresting in Excerpt from Leonardo da Vinci : Renaissance Geunis by Barbara O’Conner.

In the text it states, “Most artists in the Middle Ages were not interested in painting lifelike humans or nature scenes.” This shows that back then no one bothered to even try lifelike drawing until Leonardo shows them that lifelike drawing is more creative.]]> 2018-03-26 14:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246116556 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246116624 Based on my reading of “ Excerpt from Leonardo da Vinci: Renaissance Genuis” I found it intresting that when you first start to work in the Bottega they make you do chores so I found it surprising that they start you by cleaning why don’t they start you by just doing art. For example in the text it stated “ He worked for 12 hours each day before retiring upstairs to sleep on the straw covered floor.” This shows that they will start you off by cleaning rather than doing art.]]> 2018-03-26 14:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246116624 cm47000 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246116930 Based on my reading, what I found interesting was Leonardo didn’t know anything about art, he only did simple chores.

This was interesting because he practiced very hard and it all payed off. What was surprising was that verrocchio thought that Leonardo had skill. This was surprising becasuse if he was only an apprentice and made his art work more realistic over time.]]> 2018-03-26 14:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246117165 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246117374 Based on my reading of the text I found it surprising that Leonardo Da Vinci had to sweep the floors and clean brushes and mallets before becoming a artist.

For example in the text it says, “He swept, cleaned, mixed paints, and ran errands.” I thought he was always are artist that is why I was surprised about Leonardo being a apprentice.]]> 2018-03-26 14:53:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246117735 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246117759 What I found interesting was that Leonardo was an unskilled worker he only did chores but becuase of his teacher he became a master craftsmen because many things his teacher taught them like perspective which taught them to make something look further away then it is in reality this is what I found interesting in the story excerpt from Leonardo da Vinci renassaince genius by Barbara o’conor

I found this interesting because why would you go to a school of art not even knowing art so much. In the article it said “]]> 2018-03-26 14:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246118090 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246118266 Based on my reading of the article, “ Excerpt from Leonardo da Vinci: Renaissance Genius”, what I found interesting and surprising is that he didn’t know much about art, and he is remembered for his art skills In the text it claims, “ Leonardo had only to look around him to see that there was much to learn from his new master”. This means that he didn’t know anything about art. ]]> 2018-03-26 14:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246118266 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246118439 What I found surprising while reading this text was that when Leonardo first started being a artist he didn’t know any techniques and he had to start off with sweeping the floors or cleaning brushes and mallets just like it said in page.5 of the text, this is because I never thought that Leonardo started off in that way.]]> 2018-03-26 14:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246118439 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246118951 What I found interesting was how Leonardo had a good education from painting and using that to help him paint. I found this interesting because I think art is just fun. Not something to help you in your education. This proves that I thought art was to help your school day be more interesting. I also found this surprising because I think art is fun and I just try my best to do it or to try to copy it in my page. This explains why I think art is fun and never thought of it as something to help be smarter. This is why I found it surprising. ]]> 2018-03-26 14:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246118951 kd507119 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246121033 I found it interesting that people didn’t do lifelike and 3D drawings before the Renassaisne ended. I thought this because all the lifelike drawings da Vinci made are all jumping out at you and so lifelike. And ALMOST all the drawings we have today are lifelike and real. Or surreal. But it still feels life like, that’s the thing! It doesn’t makes sense that there was a time when that paintings weren’t 3D or lifelike or real or surreal. In line 25, it says, “ Before the Renaissance, paintings often looked flat and not very realistic.” This shows that there was no realism or life like painting which seemed weird for me.]]> 2018-03-26 14:58:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/nsdt53mhocyw/wish/246121033
