The resources located on the internet, for teachers and students, is boundless. There is a wealth of information at their fingertips. This site is great for students to reach back and take a look at the genius of a man who lived so long ago. This is a wonderful site, filled with intriguing information. Best of luck to all of you!

Da Vinci,with his genius, left and enlightened, the worldwith his "immortallity". You don't have to be a genius.As one freind put it, in this life, "you have to make a statement"My interpretation is that you have to make a contributionto humankind like Da Vinci did. You don't have to have kids, you don't have to be blessed with talent like Da Vinci. Just know that you did your best to use your assets forhumankind, so that you know it when you face your deathbed.

A very interesting site showing the potential of learning and teaching through the arts.There is also a lot to learn here about the effective way of using the Internet as a teaching and learning tool -- considerably more than one finds on may sites.The site informed my thinking on how to encourage and promote this kinf of learning through the site of Calgary Arts Partners in Education.

I think this site is extremely important for many reasons. It reminds us of how great genius can truly be and of a man who had unusual talent. This reminds us, especially educators like myself, of how important art education and interdisciplinary education really is. Leonardo made great contributions toward mankind in the true tradition that was interdisciplinary education of his time. He created sets for plays that moved and changed, a model for the tank, submarine, explosive shell, parachute, a working model for the airplane and car and much more. I spoke to my students today about Leonardo Da Vinci and they found it hard to believe that a man did this 500 years ago. One student asked a question for which I had no answer. My student wondered why someone thought about these things 500 years ago it took people so long to develop them.I realized that this was what was truly great about Da Vinci and that this was a true argument for recent statistical information that people who study the arts do better not only in being creative but in other areas totally unrelated to the arts such as business. Da Vinci was a great draftsman, he was the first person permitted by the Pope to draw a human corpse but he was only permitted to do it from a memory of the dissection. Each night after watching a dissection he would go home and draw. His drawings were so accurate they were used by medical school up until modern times. I also once heard that the human face has a large number of muscles and that Leonardos unusual knowledge of anatomy is what allows him to pull off the impression that the Mona Lisa is smiling when viewed one way and not smiling when viewed another way but that no matter how hard we look it is impossible to tell which.I believe that that it is important to recognize the great genius of Leonardo Da Vinci so that we understand the importance of interdisciplinary education. I think this site does a great service towards that end and as such is an important hub of innovative thinking. I think we all owe thanks to its creators.

I would love to here the input of somebody with psycholocical or psychiatrictraining or credentials, or that of somebody that knows such a person, whatwould possess Leonardo to use this type of self-expression.I don't know his history that well to know if he was aware that he had famein his day. I don't believe he knew how famous this paintingwould be or that we'd be discussing on the www. Please include you credentialswith your guestbook comment.

With respect to my recent guest comment, that possibly hehad homosexual tendencies and was "getting back" at thestraight world, I'd like to refine my comment. Possibly,it had to do with the 7-25-98 guest comment that he wasgetting in touch with his feminine self. Additionally, whatever the case, maybe he wasn't "getting back", but that sinister smile was his way of saying that he hadinsight into the human condition that was too stig-matized in his time to say out loud without ridicule.

"Mona Lisa was a man!".......This was one of the expressions that ran around during the 1960's when I was a young airman in the U.S. Air Force. Whenever one didn't agree with someone else's point of view.. a common retort was to respond back... "Mona Lisa was a man."... This served to, in effect, to tell others to end the confrontation..... No one ever could "explain" the saying... but... now.... with the "morph".. of DaVinci.... I am almost convinced that it was his self-portait as a "women"... We here people say, today... "get in touch with your feminine self"... etc.... so.. maybe that is what DaVinci was doing hundreds of years ago!!!!!

I want to tell you that you have done an excelent job on creating a web page and collaborating with others through the Internet. I am also doing research on that.Look at my web page and see the final results. I would like to know ifI could use your page as an example of how schools are using theinternet?

The reason that the Mona Lisa is smiling is because, everyone in the world, is starring at her, and she doesn't know why. Wouldn't you?

Even if the portraits of the Mona Lisa and Leonardo have been lined up in a computer and match up it still proves little, because every artist subconsiously replicates themselves in their work someway. So although I don't agree with Dr. Shwartz's theory your students did an excellent job on this project.

What a thorough place. Hop on and ride it. Does true education cross into each preconceived boundary of curriculum in turn smashing the boundary?The internet can be a culturally enriching journey. Good Luck with the GRAND PRIZE!

The Website is amazing and you have gotten a tremendous amount of responses for this website and I can truly see why. The amount of awards you have received is quite impressive. The Vitruvian man is great fun to be able to click on his hands.

Your site is great!! I have always loved the Mona Lisa, and back in the 50's
Nat King Kole did such a good job on the Mona Lisa song that I had to say "Thank
You". Margie

I think that the MONA LISA is a very important painting because of her remarkable secret. Her secret identity is finally revealed at this web site and explains why Leonardo da Vinci painted MONA LISA.

I view it as Leonardo having had painted himself as a woman - does Mona Lisa mean anything in particular?

I think that it could either be a painting of Da Vinci as he would see himself as a woman or a tribute to his mother as mentioned by Partricia,the New York Graduate.

I looked at many links on this site, particularly the planets, and I was saturated with information. As far as Mona Lisa goes, I would use the beguiling image to get kids to morph their own faces with their relative's portraits to see family resemblances. Also the whole series, "Separated At Birth" deals with famous people who resemble each other, such as Ringo Starr and Yasser Arafat. That could be fun also, morphing famous people or people in the headlines. Maybe morphing newsmakers with "regular" people. Just a thought!

Hello, my name is Patricia and I am a gradute of New York University and I was intrigued at the likeness of Da Vinci and the portrait of the Mona Lisa. I truly do believe that the face was that of his mother's, for only a child or a loved one can paint a portrait from memory of someone dear. Now whether that is how Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa is a question but I think that it was a tribute of a loving son to his mother to eternally capture her beauty as he remebered her as a child. I was also very surprised to find out that Leonardo Da Vinci was a composer. Thank you for offering such an informative and interesting site.

Congratulations to he students of this JFK High School Web Site for winning the contest and for sharing with the wide world your enthusiastic interest in the life and times of Leonardo da Vinci. 
My answer to your quest: "Why is the Mona Lisa smiling" is that her smile is now a happier smile as in my book Mystery of the Mona Lisa, the truth about her portrait is finally out! RINA DE' FIRENZE, Author of MYSTERY OF THE MONA LISA.
