Artist of the Month: Leonardo Da Vinci and Catapults





Catapults Made From Pens, Rubberbands and Tissue Boxes



Books From the Library






Our studies of Leonardo Da Vinci this month led us to...

- build our own catapults out of found objects and launched cotton balls and mini marshmallows

- play a video game called Catapult King

- watch a red bull video of a man being catapulted off of a bridge in response to the question, "Can people be catapulted?"

- observed pictures of his famous paintings on our digital frame- Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Lady with an Ermine

- observed pictures of his sketches- giant crossbow, catapult, and flying machines

- watched a history channel documentary on Leonardo Da Vinci's life

- built a working wooden catapult model that Dagan got for his birthday

- looked through an anatomy for artists book at sketches of organs and muscular and skeletal systems
