Da Vinci was a man of many trades

So seeing from this list Leonardo did a little bit of everything

One work of Da Vinci that everyone knows was his painting the Mona Lisa it is still famous today and not very many people do not know what it is.

Why was this so important you may ask, back then it was a big deal because they could print whatever they wanted and print mass amounts of it. Now a days it is not uncommon for a home to have its own printer. This makes it easier for people to communicate by printing things such as flyers and and posters and post cards. And this also gave people the ability to get books and get educated. People can now go online and buy any book they want to or go to a library and check it out. This also leads to the sharing of knowledge and expansion of culture.

Why was Leonardo Important

This was his drawing for the armored tank it kind of looks like a turtle.

Leonardo Da vinci's machines or inventions may seem out dated or old school but we use them in society everyday. For example air travel has become a big thing now and Leonardo developed the first idea for the flying machine. Also everything has ball bearings now most machinery vehicles boats everything. Da Vinci was a revolutionary renaissance man and showed it by his inventions and all of the work he has done. (Bellis)
