Leonardo da Vinci - Anatomy, Art, Science: Leonardo’s fascination with anatomical studies reveals a prevailing artistic interest of the time. In his own treatise Della pittura (1435; “On Painting”), theorist Leon Battista Alberti urged painters to construct the human figure as it exists in nature, supported by the skeleton and musculature, and only then clothed in skin. Although the date of Leonardo’s initial involvement with anatomical study is not known, it is sound to speculate that his anatomical interest was sparked during his apprenticeship in Verrocchio’s workshop, either in response to his master’s interest or to that of Verrocchio’s neighbor Pollaiuolo, who was renowned for his fascination

Back in December 2018 I was thrilled to get to visit the last residence of Leonardo da Vinci. The old master moved to Amboise, France upon the invitation of King Francois I and was given the Châteaux du Clos Lucé as his home. More than anything it was an experience in itself to simply feel … Visiting Leonardo Da Vinci’s last residence—the Châteaux du Clos Lucé in Amboise, France Read More »
In biblioteca "Villa del Sole" di Seveso ho condotto un laboratorio su Leonardo Da Vinci per bambini dai 6 anni in su. Ho letto loro il libro "A Bottega da Leonardo" di Ilaria Demonti. Un libro molto particolare e creativo e ben fatto. Durante la lettura ho approfondito alcuni argomenti illustrando ai bambini altri libri con foto di alcune realizzazioni in 3D. In questo laboratorio ho preparato per loro qualcosa di inedito e che voglio condividere con tutti voi: la realizzazione del paracadute e della vite aerea. Di seguito vi spiegherò come realizzarle passo-passo. Vite Aerea 1. Stampare e colorare i tre pezzi. Tagliare il pezzo 1, 2 e 3. 2.Posizionare la parte numero 3 sul tavolo e mettere la colla nella piccola linguetta con la scritta "Colla 3". Incollare il pezzo numero 2 sul pezzo numero 3 nel seguente modo e mettere la colla nella piccola linguetta con la scritta "Colla 2". Infine posizionare l'ultimo pezzettino incollando la linguetta numero 2 e formando un cerchio perfetto al centro. 3. Realizzazione della base: prendere 4 tappi di sughero e posizionare al centro un piccolo pezzo di carta arrotolato in modo che abbia la stessa larghezza del cerchio centrale della vite aerea. Per tenere insieme i 4 tappi utilizzare un pezzo di scotch da pacco. 4. Rinforzare la base e il bastoncino di carta con lo scotch come in figura. 5. Infilare la vite aerea dall'alto e chiuderlo con un piccolo cerchietto di carta precedentemente tagliato per bloccarlo sulla parte alta. Paracadute 1. Colorare il paracadute, tagliare tutte le parti e bucare con un perforatore i punti segnati. 2. Piegare sulle linee tratteggiate e creare una piramide incollando la linguetta. 3. Infilare due fili come in figura 4. Annodare i 4 fili insieme e posizionare l'omino al centro incollando i fili all'omino. Il laboratorio è piaciuto molto e ne sono felice. E i vostri paracaduti e vite aeree come sono? Aspetto le vostre foto. Scrivete a [email protected]. Ringrazio ancora moltissimo il comune di Seveso, la biblioteca, l'assessore alla Cultura Alessia Borroni, i bambini e i loro genitori per la possibilità di realizzare questi laboratori, la mia più grande passione. Alla prossima 😊
