Here are some more pictures of my Da Vinci matchbox which is now showing on the Big Art Adventure blog. I chose to record some of his quotes...the rest are:
'Learning never exhausts the mind. '
'Learning never exhausts the mind. '
'Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.'
'There are three classes of people: Those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.'
Da Vinci was a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer. Wow... and they say men can't multi-task?
