RESOURCES:

• Artist Profile Pages ~ a tool I created to help organize our Charlotte Mason-style artist studies

          

• Living Books

Getting to Know the World's Great Artists; da Vinci  |  Mike Venezia



Tell Me About Leonardo da Vinci | John Malam



Katie and the Mona Lisa | James Mayhew

NOTE:  There are so many great books available about da Vinci.  I have limited our choices to these three because, for the purposes of this study, we will focus on Leonardo's art (in the traditional sense of the word).  Our history studies this year will take us into a more in-depth study of da Vinci's other creative endeavors; engineering and science.
