Da Vinci


Today in gifted we learned about Da Vinci . We made our own version of the Mona Lisa which is Da Vinci's most famous painting . We gave our paintings a title written backwards . We drew the Mona Lisa step by step . One of the easiest ways to read backwards words is by holding it up to a mirror which we did to check our work . No one knows if the Mona Lisa is a male or Female . Another interesting thing is the Mona Lisa's mysterious smile . She blends in to the backround of the painting . And wherever you go she will be looking at you .
