I think this is a fabulous project for students. They did a terrific job and as I was reading through each of the pages I wish I had been part of it! I think there are many different ways this project could be used. I think it could be used as a model to have others kids use to create their own hyperstudio projects. They would have to come up with an idea or complete a final project from a thematic unit in class. With this project as a final project I think children would really learn incredibly about the subject at hand because the project is interesting and egaging and all children will like to do some parts of the project.To be specific, there are writing assignments that can be created from this project. The whole question about why is Mona Lisa smiling and having the computer change the image from the man to Mona Lisa is a fantastic motivator for a writing assigment. The students could come up with an answer or they could be detectives and come up with an hypothesis for what the answer could be. The students could also come up with their own conclusion or create their own ending to the story. With reading, the children could transfer what they have seen in art and then research with reading and the internet about Mona Lisa and the artist and maybe the artists of the time. They could also transfer the topic to history or social studies and find out about the time and where the artisit lived to get some background knowledge. Then at the end of the all of the research and the formulation of hypotheses, the students could then create a hyperstudio project to answer the questions of this particular multimedia project. Thank you, Lee Lionetti

Dear JFK Mona Lisa Team, Congratulations on an amazing website! The hard work that you have put into this incredible resource deserves much credit! It was suggested that I check out your site in my graduate class on "Reading and Writing Through Media" I am currently taking. I must say that your site has many many classroom applications, such as we've discussed in this class. I teach 2nd grade atGreenwich Academy (a private all-girls school in CT), and I was thinking of ways that I could use your site in my classroom. The first idea that I had was to show my students a picture of the Mona Lisa, and have them write a story about why she is smiling. Whatis the story behind that smile? They could also get their familiies and community invovled in this question, and gather as many opinions as possible. I would then have my girls check out your site, with particular emphasis on Schwartz's fascinating theory! Another idea is along the lines of the WIRED Mona Lisa contest -- to have the students produce their own version of the Mona Lisa. Or, once they are familiar with the Schwartz theory, have them draw a self-portrait in which they hide their true identities! Finally, I think it would be great to have the students truly explore all aspects of your web page, and learn as much as possible aboutLeonardo's genius. We could then put together a "Leonardo Day" using all kinds of multi-media to give visitors (parernts, other classes) amulti-sensory experience of Leonardo: His Life and Times. IN preparation for this day, I would of course have the girls create their own invitationsusing your postcard -making program! Those are just some ideas off the top of my head. I thought you might like to know what your site is capable of inspiring. Thank You! :)Faith Cinquegrana

Wonderful website! I'd like to see this used as a resource for Art classes, science classes, English classes and Social Studies classes. Students not only learn about the Mona Lisa, but DaVinci's other talents. I can already imagine a writing project for students. Who was Mona Lisa...(taking into account that she may still be someone other than DaVinci)and what might have lead her to pose for DaVinci. Where did they meet, under what circumstances? Students can have fun making their own painting of a "Mona Lisa" with a different expression. By the way I have bookmarked this page and will consistently use the Complete Works of Shakespeare on-line...thank you!!!

Why is Mona Lisa smiling?We think that she is smiling because when Leonardo was painting her, he was naked! She was maybe very embarassed!!!!Mona Lisa was the female side of Leonardo!!!

In my art class we learned that the model Leonardo da Vinci used for the Mona Lisa was a member of a wealthy family who asked him to paint it, but da Vinci kept it afterwards because he liked it so much. It was not in any way a portrait of himself.

lillian schwartz's hypothesis gives one much to reflect on. could we then postulate that leonardo was unable to capture the serenity he wished to convey because he was unable to crete a serene environment within his studio, or because he was unable to see beyond the easel to the world around him? a wonderful puzzelment to ponder. we look forward to more visits and thought provoking investigations. thank you for the time and energy invested into this website.

new rochelle, n.y. USA - Thursday, January 14, 1999 at 20:15:18 (EST)
I found Dr. Schwartz's hypothesis fasinating and will ponder this notion. A puzzelment though is why no woman was able to capture the essence of serenity da vinci sought to capture? could it be that perhaps he was unabe to create a calm within his studio and thus turned his creative energies inward? just a postualtion. i loved the website and look forward to more puzzelments and ponderments. thank you.

new rochelle, n.y. USA - Thursday, January 14, 1999 at 20:01:07 (EST)
Dr.Schwart's hypothesis is fasinating,i need time to think and reflect on this finding. while the mona lisa is not one of my favorite painting's, the work convey's to the viewer a view of women living in 1504. could it be leonardo perhaps, but what a wonderful notion to think about.i loved the website and cannot wait to share it with my husband. thank you so much, i look forward to more puzzelments and information.

I have often heard speculation that Leonardo was actuallya woman. Since women back then could not openly engage insuch intellectual pursuits, disguising herself as a man wasthe only practical way to protect herself from persecution. Perhaps the Mona Lisa painting was the only 'real' self-portrait that Leonardo created. The smile in the paintingmight just be a reflection of the humor that she found inthe situation.

I have been to your web site before, but I come back every so often to explore another link and see what else has been added or modified. There is so much to see at this site! I enjoyed seeing the different mailart done on the Mona Lisa image. I wonder what Leonardo would think. I also love your link to the Leonardo lesson plan and the opportunity I had to look at lesson plans in different subject areas. What a wealth of knowledge! For some reason, the links and some words on a couple of pages I saw blend together, but in any case, this is a great work you have all put together. Congratulations! I also liked seeing the team that put this together. I had not looked that link before.

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.
