  1. Leonardo Da Vinci By: Macy, Paige, Ashley, and Alex "Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind."

  2. Biography • 1452-1519 • Born in Tuscan hill, Florensce • Buried in Château d'Amboise • Parents: Caterina da Vinci, Piero da Vinci • Died in the castle of Cloux

  3. Main StudiesGeometry • Preferred to draw math (which became geometry) • Thought math was better represented with a drawing • Artistic abilities • All these things helped him create geometry

  4. What is Geometry • Geometry is centered around the properties and configurations of geometric objects. (solids, points, straight lines ect.) • The word geometry comes from the Greek word geometria. • Geometry can be easily found in nature. • The literal translation of geometria is “to measure the earth” • What did the acorn say when it grew up? Answer: “Geometry” (Gee, I’m a tree) –found by Paige

  5. Polyhedrons • Polyhedrons are solids that always have FLAT faces. • The word polyhedron is derived from the Greek language. Poly- which means “many”, and -edron which means “faces”. • Polyhedrons can be anything from cubes to dodecahedrons. This means the number of faces can vary greatly. • Ployhedrons can never have curves

  6. Inventions • Anemometer • Flying Machine • Helicopter (Aerial Screw) • Parachute • Giant Crossbow • Clock • Scuba Gear • Revolving Bridge

  7. Interest in Water • Was interested in water because it has so many forms • It can be life-giving, or taking. • It can be speeding or still. • Water has more power than is ever imaginable. • (That’s why we did the ripple transition.)

  8. Interesting Facts • Created a code • Used a mirror to right back wards that way people couldn’t steal his work • They are still decoding some of it

  9. Paintings • Mona Lisa • Her name was Lisa Gheradini • She had two kids • Was 24 years old • Why she was picked is still a mystery

  10. Paintings (continued) The Last Supper • Was asked to paint a painting for his church • Took at least three years to paint • He tried to make the the picture come alive • And the expression on his face

  11. Where can you find it today? • Human Anatomy • Tank • Helicopter • Everday Mathematics • Scuba Gear
