Leonardo Di Ser Piero Da Vinci

by Kengo from Dublin

From my perspective, Leonardo Di Ser Piero Da Vinci, as most people call him Leonardo Da Vinci, is an honorable hero. He was a great Italian inventor, mathematician, scientist, engineer, anatomist, architect, writer, musician, and botanist. However, he is famous for a piece of art that is commonly known, the Mona Lisa, a sculpture of Lisa del Giocondo. He has also done many great things. He made many admirable changes to our world.

Two of Leonardo's inventions that we use today are parachutes and diving suits. Parachutes have saved many lives, especially military air force pilots. Diving suits allow people to explore things underwater and scuba dive for sport. Also, Milan Cathedral is an architecture created by Leonardo, and he also played the viola organista,the harpsichord, a viola da gamba, and the organ.

My dream is to become an artist, and I want to be able to make great portraits like him. I want to be able to draw portraits and make them look real and alive. I want to make them have a meaning. That is why he is my hero.
