Decoding Da Vinci's Craft: Curiosity
This immersive workshop delves into the expansive mind of Leonardo da Vinci – think art, body bits, machines, and philosophy. We're not just talking; we're doing! It's all about flexing your curiosity muscle and following our lines of inquiry deeper and deeper to create discovery – exactly how da Vinci created new painting techniques, discovered things about the human anatomy, and created groundbreaking inventions. With this as a guide, we can unlock our doors to innovation and inspiration, allowing us to explore, question, and create our own unique wonders in today's world!
Learning Goals:
- Research skills
- Critical thinking
- Digital & creative design
- Topical expertise
Final Deliverable: Each student can curate a personalized presentation of their own line of inquiry, a chart of investigation that branches off from the original. For example, a student could be investigating how lightning works, then lead to question what materials lightning is attracted to or insulated by, and then question if this relates to electricity.
