Book Description
Leonardo’s Art Workshop leads children on an interactive adventure through key art concepts by following the multidisciplinary approach of the Renaissance period polymath Leonardo da Vinci: experimenting, creating projects, and exploring how art intersects with science and nature. Photos of Leonardo’s own notebooks, paintings, and drawings provide visual inspiration. More than 500 years ago, Leonardo knew that the fields of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) are all connected. The insatiably curious Leonardo examined not just the outer appearance of his art subjects, but the science that explained them. He began his studies as a painter, but his curiosity, diligence, and genius made him also a master sculptor, architect, designer, scientist, engineer, and inventor. The Leonardo’s Workshop series shares this spirit of multidisciplinary inquiry with children through accessible, engaging explanations and hands-on learning. Following Leonardo’s example, this fascinating book harnesses children’s innate curiosity to explore the foundational elements of art—color, shadow and light, lines and patterns, forms and structures, and optics and special effects—and the science behind them. After each concept is explained using science, history, and real-world examples, kids can experience the principles first-hand with step-by-step STEAM projects, including: Create paints and dyes from food Harness a rainbow with a prism Build a camera obscura Make your own sundial Practice blind contour drawing Create a one-point perspective drawing Make an infinity scope Insight from other great artists and scientists—such as Sir Isaac Newton, Sandro Botticelli, Paul Klee, and Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci—are woven into the lessons throughout. Introduce vital STEAM skills through visually rich, hands-on learning with Leonardo’s Art Workshop.

Young Leonardo
Author: Jean-Pierre Isbouts
Publisher: Thomas Dunne Books
ISBN: 1250129354
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
"Jean-Pierre Isbouts and Christopher Heath Brown depict Leonardo's seminal years in Milan from an entirely new perspective: that of the Sforza court. They show that much of the Sforza patronage was directed on vast projects, such as the Milan Cathedral, favoring a close circle of local artists to which Leonardo never gained entry. As a result, his exceptional talent remained largely unrecognized right up to The Last Supper and the fresco of the Crucifixion on the opposite wall, a work that up to now has fully escaped public attention. Finally, they present a sensational theory: that two long-ignored, life-size copies of The Last Supper, now in Belgium and the UK, were actually commissioned by the French king Louis XII and painted under Leonardo's direct supervision."--Publisher's description.

Leonardo Da Vinci's Technical Practice
Author: Michel Menu
Publisher: Editions Hermann
ISBN: 9782705684556
Category : Art and science
Languages : fr
Pages : 286
Book Description
"Leonardo's work is universally recognized: it arouses enthusiasm, causes astonishment, and provokes lyrical descriptions as well as inflammatory debate. A particular approach in appreciating Leonardo's work is to understand its material aspects more fully (the materials used by the artist, the manner of their preparation, associations between them and ways of combining different materials) so that artistic intention can be studied in depth, while at the same time revealing technical mastery and inventiveness. In addition, studying the way in which works age allows them to be better conserved and preserved. These are precisely the aims of the CHARISMA project, which brings together the expertise and experience of major European institutions that specialize in the examination and conservation of cultural heritage. This book is the result of contributions made by art historians, scientists and conservators during an international meeting held in early 2012 at the National Gallery, London, organized by CHARISMA to coincide with the exhibition 'Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan' which included the newly-conserved London version of the 'Virgin of the Rocks.' The workshop was devoted to the study of the artistic technique of Leonardo and his workshop. The juxtaposition of different perspectives on the paintings and drawings of one of the most iconic artists of the Italian Renaissance highlights the need to take account of multidisciplinary points of view in order to build a more complete history of the works of art. The various articles illustrate the influence that Leonardo had not only on his students and those with whom he shared his workshops, but also on his contemporaries."--Back cover.
