This weekend, we went to the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit at the Carnegie Science Center. While the kids had fun, I still think that I was the most impressed by this Renaissance man’s many discoveries and his dedication to the arts and sciences. My college Humanities I class covered a lot of Renaissance material, so I have been a fan since then and this really reinforced that there are so many reasons for that. Everything on display was a replica because it is a well established place for families, so it was more about the ideas and facts that came of his work rather than the energy that one would experience being close to something hundreds of years old. Still, it is amazing that there was someone who was able to dedicate so much time and energy this way and seeing 3-D and to scale representations was a very cool experience. Imagine if art, which actually supports scientific thinking (remaining curious and always asking “what if?”), were supported as much as science and engineering is today. Something else that I thought was interesting and that it was chosen as one of the works to include is the unfinished painting of St. Jerome. Yes, it’s Leonardo Da Vinci, so the value is possibly more apparent than my own pile of unfinished pieces, but I appreciated seeing that like books that we don’t finish reading, incomplete art is not a waste. #davincitheexhibition #carnegiesciencecenter #imagineexhibitions #leonardodavinci #artexperience #unschooling #unschoolingfamily #unschoolingfamilyadventures #artistslife #creativelife #artistmama #artistmomma #rennaissance #pittsburghartist #pittsburghadventures #experiencepittsburgh #creativeprocess #creativity #creativelife #artadventures #freestylelearning #artistsofpittsburgh #unschoolinglife #playislearning #learningthroughplay https://www.instagram.com/p/Bur3bN6Doh7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uqf3l01cjnw7
