Greetings,
Here is the preview of what I am going to post on my website- Keep in mind that english is not my mother tongue, french is, and go through it...Your site is really unique and I guess I would love to spend my life probing this new perspective...of Eternity .. I have deliberately decided not to read the review or your guest book, and I would like if possible to display your theory in toto, possibly with an image of Mona and Leonardo....It is unique totally unique.
I had been very busy, and today I took my time to go leisurely into your site and it has made a very deep impact on my soul...
I have had the privilege, yes the privilege, to visit the site that is created and maintained by the J.F.KENNEDY HIGH SCHOOL, BRONX, NY...
It is a fascinating site primarily because it deals with the Mona Lisa Concepts and because it involves the input of students of 15 years old....
Well you will tell me these in essence does not make a site "special"...
But I can assure you it is a site that is fascinating me, it has captured a dynamic in me that keeps reminiscing on the topics explored in this site...
Mona Lisa, yes, I confess she has crossed my mind many times, because she has attained the status of eternity through the artist Leonardo Da Vinci...
Tastes, like fashion evolve and she remains truely the Queen of Hearts...Her smile...
Some have said that she had a "frozen" face, a neurological disorder, some said she was a very shy person, some say she never existed, some said , well everone said something about Mona Lisa....from the plumber to the king, from the museum curator to the cleaning lady....
She has transcended all dimensions and never failed us...
And this site brings in in a most convincing manner that Mona Lisa is in fact created from the portrait of the artist himself, L.Da Vinci....
And there you are transfixed, you stand still in your step, you get really puzzled, angry, dismayed....Have we been betrayed....
And I am transfixed in the intellectual quest, but I move on emotionally...Because yes it feels right and yet it can also be wrong....
It reminds me of the Angrogyne.....Romeo and Juliet, Cleopatra and Anthony, we fall for our identical half, and Leonardo was an artist, his quest brought him no doubt to his identical half, and they joined together to make the perfect unit spiritually and it is called eternity....
Leonardo had found his identical half.............and they live forever after.....And that we sense only too well...
I personally believe in this.
But again Leonardo was an artist and he could not leave without
that hope of meeting his identical half, and perhaps out of
desperation, he made her up....
And that in essence, that great ? which is put before us, through that unique site...cannot be ignored....And for one, I am intrigued beyond reason, and I will go back to that site as often as I can....
And I will try to feel with my soul, that eternity that is the couple Mona and Leonardo, and try to find an answer if I can....Because this is way beyond the simple intellectual quest.....
The Mona Lisa smile.......What a challenge to humanity.....
And this site is truely unique.....and I have not read articles written before me on that site, will not for now, I want to retain the purity of the unique insight / vision that site offers, and yes definitely yes, I will go back...often perhaps everyday of my life......
Thank you for bringing the greatest challenge to the open...and a new perspective has been born on that site, and the people who made it happen are very special people...Thank you so very much....

Hi Steve!
Your kids have done a wonderful job! I have created a link to your "Learning Leonardo" site in my ArtTech For Kids, ArtTech For Teachers, and History libraries. &:^)
Thank you for bringing your kids and site to my attention. I'd never known
it was created with 15 year old computers, if you hadn't told me! Keep up
the good work.
Thanks again!
Cheers,
Sharon

Thank you for your suggestion. We will look at your site and as long as it appears to offer resources of sufficient academic interest we will add it to the BUBL LINK catalogue. Note that this is updated regularly but not every day, so it may be a few days before your entry appears in the catalogue.

Steve,
Learning About Leonardo is indeed everything you described. It
has been helping thousands as a model research project for a
number of years. Therefore, it is my pleasure to announce its
selection for an Internet Brothers present in the Helpware and
Community category.
Your site is now featured on our winners page
http://www.internetbrothers.com/winners_mar2000.htm and will
always be in our archives.
Rather than raise any confusion over our Children's Award, I
think this works out better. Hopefully you agree. Thank you for
inviting us to visit.
Sincerely,
Jeff Clark, on behalf of the Internet Brothers Presents Review Panel

Hello Steve,
Thanks for contacting us at Whootie Owl's web site! You have a truly
fascinating site; the concept of merging Leonardo's face with the Mona
Lisa's is intriguing indeed. At this time we don't have a fitting category
on our links page to link to your site, however we could create a new
category called "For Older Kids".
Thanks.

Steve,
Welcome aboard! You truly share the vision of what we are attempting to do.
I will add your name to the MAWG list.... and perhaps you could pull
together short short CV for intro.... We have long been looking for a
secondary school teacher from the US to invite into our ranks, particularly
as involves creation of virtual student factory and profiling of students
work in the areas of the arts (inc. technology), culture.....
Are you aware of the Champion of Change study? It is referenced on the MAWG
working pages. Outstanding profiles of work with inner-city students
through the arts....
For starters, then.... I have a student translating the Virtual Africa site
from French into English. Perhaps once that translation is complete we can
turn it over to your students for Spanish??" River Festival" is hosted in Virtual Africa
http://www.olats.org/zekri/
for the working papers of site see http://www.millennaire.com/mawg.html
Will be back in touch soon.

Re: miksike etemplates
Dear friends,
Thanks Deborah for your good work with MoistArts (Fluid Arts)
and for connecting us with Steve.
Steve, I think that perhaps the first move before doing translation
job, is to try to bring students together and let them discuss what
thematic unit (what topic) they would like to translate etc.
The best age for students would be approx 14- 18 years old .. in
that age our students are more able to communicate in English.
Great if you have contacts with students of that age.
Let me know more exactly how old they are, so its easier for us
to find appropriate class here in Estonia.
Glad to communicate and do the best to contribute to the
MoistArt success.
Thanks for your time and sunshine,
