Leonardo di Vince

Leonardo di Vince was born on April 15,1452 into a "well off" family. His father was a notary and his mother was a peasant woman. He happily lived with his birth mom for four years. At age 4 he went to live with his dad and a step mom because his father was rich and his mom was poor. At an early age he had a love for nature, animals, and surprisingly he was a vegetarian. At age 15 he went to be an apprentice under Verrocchio and fast he became much better than him. After that he became interested in painting, architecture, engineering, and anatomy. In 1505-1507 he painted the Mona Lisa. He had over 13000 pages of drawings. Sadly he died in France May 2, 1519.

Art

Hi, guys I  just wanted to give you a heads up about it. I will be posting about different artists and what they did. Hope you like them! :) Giotto Di Bondone was born in Florence, Italy 1267. His was a farming family he most likely was a Shepherd when he was young. It is likely that he suffered from dwarfism because he was only 4 feet tall. A Florentine painter named Cimabue saw Giotto drawing a sheep into a rock. Giotto went to be a apprentice under Cimabue. Giotto painted so religiosity soon after he started he was better than Cimabue. Giotto married at the age of 20. Later he had 8 children and one became a painter. When he was 30 He was wealthy and owned many  estates. Sadly he died in Jan. 1337 at 70 years old.

Oragomi Owl

Origami owl is a company that makes lockets that you can put charms in. I have one locket and six charms. They have different sizes, small, medium, and large. If you a small you can barely fit 3 charms. If you have a medium you can barely fit 5 charms. If you have a large, you can fit just about eight. The charms are about the size of a pinky finger nail. Each charms cost about five dollars. And lockets cost around fifteen (chains are sold separately from lockets). I hope you will enjoy these lockets.
