His hobbies were painting and drawing He was taught from a parish priest until he was 14, then he went to University of Verrocchio He was a good student He was great at drawing and painting

6 Legacy Leonardo died on May 2nd,1519 because of old age
He died when he was 67 years old His death most likely affected his community But his death wasn’t that tragic Leo will be remembered by his paintings, inventions, and scientific drawings Leonardo left behind many pages of drawings, but only a few have been recovered

7 Purpose I chose Leonardo da Vinci because I wanted to learn more about his life. I also chose him because his artwork fascinates me. Another reason why I chose Leonardo is because I can kind of make connections, like that I am an only child and he is too (for awhile). Also nature fascinates me, just like him!!
