As a teacher of a bilingual class in Community District 14, I am excited by the way in which this web sight is created inner city Bronx High School students provides many multilingual digital graphics, art, music, sing language and emergent Mona-driven story telling and authoring activities for young learners. I am also a Newsday reader and I am excited to see that you where selected as the COOL School of the month-Blue Ribbon recipient by News Day. Well deserved

Very interesting site. What would Leonardo say about the children's comments if he could see what they are doing with his great works now? This is a model of how technology can integrate with classroom activities to produce a wonderful, accessible space for the community.

I think this site has done a lot to demonstrate the timelessness of important works of art. Leonardo speaks to us today through history. What he has to say has inspired these students. It's wonderful to see.

I love to read the classics of literature. After reading the third part of Dante's DIVINECOMEDY, THE PARADISO I was greatly impressed, among other things, at how greatly Dante loved a woman named Beatrice. I could not image anyone being praised more than the great master Dante praised Beatrice.Now Leonardo Da Vinci was born about 180 years after Dante. Here's where I really begin wondering. Surely Dante's magnificence must have been known to Da Vinci. Being Italian himself, Da Vinci must have studied Dante. Knowing that his great literary counterpart Dante loved Beatrice with all his heart, mind and soul, the magnificent Da Vinci saluted Dante as only one Great One could salute another: by representing Dante's great love with his art.So here is my speculation: The Mona Lisa is Beatrice.Would anyone care to comment?

Your research is fantastic! It's always seemed like the Mona Lisa wasmore that what it seemed, and the smile held the secret. This theory makesmore sense than anything. Leonardo may have been trying to say something withthis painting, and smiling because he knew the real message would be lost on mostpeople for years to come, and he was right. The "real" Mona Lisa is now complete.

The Mona/Leo concept is interesting. Our Renaissance hero, given his cleverness such as displayed by his mirror-image writing, may very well have been playing a trick on us all along! Perhaps, alternatively, the Mona Lisa may be a relative, which would explain the likeness. Or, the self-portrait of Leo itself is not of da Vinci's own true likeness, but rather of the model who had sat for the Mona Lisa. But the smile is probably his own, suppressing a chuckle, laughing inward, hiding a clever a secret, which will remain so...

As former teacher Educator, a science specialist, science professional, and the newly appointed Science Education Director of Little Scientists, I have carefully reviewed the scientific page, the digital multilingual post cards, and the interactive quizzes on the site. From the perspective of a multidisciplinary emergent literacy advocate, the site offers much in depth content and exploratory activities. A job well done!! Deric R.

That is crazy to think that Leonardo may have painted himself. I want to know how he go to see himself and how he discovered that he could see himself. It is also neet that their are different views in the backround.
Andy

I thought the page was good, but opinions on the morph vary. I visited this with my class and the opinions varied greatly. I agree that Leonardo drew his feminine side.

Very interesting idea, but I don't know if I agree with it. Leonardo was a very intelligent person who had some ideas ahead of his time, like the helicopter and the parachoute.

I think that it is very intresting point that you have made. I can see the close resemblance in both pictures. I do belive that it is Da Vinci.
Maggie

I think its pretty cool that Leonardo may have painted himself in one of the worlds most famous paintings. He was a very extraordinary artist, and it takes talent to paint yourself. I love his paintings and hope to see them in person one day!!

Gideon
MI USA - Tuesday, October 03, 2000 at 14:13:07 (EDT)
I think that your theory is so right. I never really noticed it before. But when the picture is swiching back and forth you can really notice the similarities in both of the pictures.

I would have to disagree.. i really dont see the resemblance. Perhaps the nose a little bit, but i dont thnk that he had himself in mind while paiting this famous female.

Yes, we agree that the two portraits seem to match. However it is hard for us to see as i have a vision impairment. Please send an email of these two portraits so that family and friends can help me distinguish the similarities. if you can not email me, please forward to my home address of 231 Heather Glen Lane, Mystic, CT 06355 and I will reply to you shortly there after. thank you.Marcelo Ladia

I really liked your website, and I've founded it very interesting.As a Mexican living in the U.S. I apprecciate the fact that you've included an spanish translation for the Mona Lisa page, and although someone can get the idea, the translation has "areas of oportunity". I would be more than happy to make a good translation for free. Just contact me if you are interested.Thank you and congratulations!

From the information that i have seen, i believe that the Mona Lisa was a potrait of Leonardo Da'Vinci. I think that it is him, because of the features and how the eyes nose and mouth are all lined up on both pictures. I'm very skeptical that it would be someone else.
Randall
USA - Tuesday, September 26, 2000 at 22:04:08 (EDT)
I think Leonardo deVinchi used a portrait of himself to finish the Mona Lisa, to me thats odd to do but in class we watched a show about what scientist think, and they were pretty convincing.
Callen
Bellevue, Wa USA - Tuesday, September 26, 2000 at 21:53:29 (EDT)
I think the Mona Lisa picture is Leonardo Da Vinci because they have the same features. Most things are related, except Mona is smiling and Leonardo Da Vinci is not smiling. He just flipped the mouth to make it look like she was smiling. If you put the pictures next to each other, they would look the same.

I think it is possible that Da Vinci used himself in the painting. It seems very odd to use himself in a portrait of a woman. The Mona Lisa and Leonardo Da Vinci do share many features in common.Utah Jazz Rule!

I believe that Leonardo da Vinci did use himself as a model to do this painting. Whether he used himself to finish the painting or do this painting... I'm not realy sure. I believe that he used himself to finish the painting because the lady rejected him later on or he just had to finish it.World Civ2 Per.3

I got in because I had assignment from my reading class in the 8th grade on talking about the mona lisa smile. I was hoping to see more views of what other people thought of, of why she was smiling. Maybe I didn't click on the right material to view that. Thanks
Jennifer
Wrangell, alaska USA - Monday, September 25, 2000 at 23:26:18 (EDT)
I think that the Mona Lisa is partially Leonardo da Vinci because I saw a video on the Mona Lisa at school.It showed a painting of the Dutchess Isabel who look a lot like the Mona Lisa.I just think he didn't finish the painting and had to use his own self portrait to finish it.
Varisa
Bellevue, WA USA - Monday, September 25, 2000 at 22:21:40 (EDT)
I like what was done with this site. What would Leonardo think of our children's comments were he here to see this wonderful internet creation?
Raffi
USA - Monday, September 25, 2000 at 21:28:57 (EDT)
Why you ask is Mona Lisa smiling in this portrait. She isn't smiling for the picture nor probably the fact that she's happy. The main reason that she would be smiling is because she is smiling to the person painting her. She is fascinated by him and smiles as she admires the way he paints her. Perhaps even he is talking to her as he paints and she is simple amused at who he is and what he is telling her. It's her own expression of the painter and she enjoys him very much telling by her smile.

dublin, ireland - Sunday, September 24, 2000 at 10:40:33 (EDT)
Sorry I for got to add......... Maybe Leonardo is trying to stress the fact that we all resemble each other not just physically but through our behaviours. We have a male and a female side to our personality and maybe he saw his feminine side through the persona of Mona Lisa. No black or white issues here, it gets too boring. Lets introduce some colour.......Would anyone like to expand?

belfast, Ireland - Sunday, September 24, 2000 at 10:12:39 (EDT)
And why wouldn't the Mona Lisa smile? If you were posing for a portrait by the Great Leonardo wouldn't you be grinning like the Cheshire cat! I think Mona was quite composed considering the circumstances. Peace and Love

I DO know why she is smiling...Your computer morph theory is plain wrong. More than wrong, its uh, well, cute. The kinda thing a smart-a advertising diva might come up with. For truly, truly, I say to you, the real answer, is far fargrander. After all, Leo d.V. was quite a brilliant fellow, no?Why do you think he wrote backward? (3 guesses)The secret of her smile is that which lies behind no less thanall of Christendom, Islam, Judaism, Freemasonry, Alchemy,Qaballah, et al.Now, if YOU had such a secret, and you knew that down the centuries (do you really suppose he time-travelled?)millions of people would be askingthe very same question.... Wy IS she smiling so, would youuh, chuckle inside. Leo was a provacatuer par excellance.see ya.p.s. what WAS inside the Ark after all?

CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE SITE. MY OPINION IS THAT LEONARDO LIKED THAT PARTICULAR POSITION OF THE FACE . YOU CAN SEE THE SAME POSITION IN THE MONA, LEDA AND HIMSELF. THE IDEA THAT IS HIMSELF ON THE PAINTING IS RATHER ACCEPTABLE TOO. PLEASE INCLUDE LARGER PICTURES IF YOU CAN. THANKS!!!!!

I haven't studied Da Vinci in depth, but as a proclaimed artistmyself, I see the resemblence between Da Vinci and Mona Lisa.My point is that Da Vinci is frowning in his self portrait andMaria is smiling, all artists have a happy and a sad side...which; in my opinion Da Vinci is displaying.

I think that theory is rather lame. If one looks at the works done by many artists, whether they be fine artists or, for ex, cartoonists, one will see that in many cases there's a strong resemblance between certain strong facial characteristics of artists and their subjects.

It is certainly heartening to see that in this era when the public is so interested about students connecting and becoming knowledgable about the history and arts, these public school students use the internet as a research tool and were able to compile an excellent digital portfolio and timeline of art past history achievements, but were also able to demonstrate higher order thinking skills and use of art and online resources as a spatial entry point to knowledge by creating their own future predictions galleries. This online site demonstrates Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory as it can be realized utilizing the internet as a cyberspace museum project.

I was very impressed with the speed and look of the web pages you designed about our "Living on Mars" mural project, sponsored by NASA. As with the mural, it's amazing to see what young people can do when they are really challenged. Keep up the great work!***Nicky

On this day the anniversary of JFK Jr's untimely demise, it is interesting to look at the visions of students of John F. Kennedy High School and their artistic visions of the future. John F. Kennedy Jr. as he worked through Robin Hood Foundation to further the futures of inner city high school students to see what these students did in response to the Microsoft Challenge. Their work embodies his work on behalf of preferable futures for talented caring youth.

Congratulations to the JFK team and Mr. Feld on being first in the Microsoft contest. As a fifth grade teacher, I will be able to use the students' visions of art in the year 2100 to inspire my students to write, draw, research, and predict life in 2100.

as a graduate student of art history and a student of painting i am astounded with the scope and the depth of the Artifaq 2100. It is particularly striking and significant that the students visions of art in the year 2100 are so directly linked and grounded in the achievement of art masterpieces and periods. It will be interesting to see the extent to which the student art inspires, reflects, and motivates art 2100. Congratulations and thank you for this inspirational look at art history and preivew of art futures ! - Jeffrey

Congratulations on becoming a Millénaire Board Member. Having examined the Spanish and Russian translations of the Mona Lisa Smile page, I look forward to the leadership opportunities my students from Manhattan International High School will be able to access as they collaborate with the John F. Kennedy High School students.

Hi, JFK H.S. -- This is Richard Jordan, a member of the Board of Governors of the Naitonal Arts Club on Gramercy Park in Manhattan. Really interesting project on the Miho Museum. First, let me say that it was not clear where on the planet JFK H.S. is -- I figured out the Bronx from various clues. But, more importantly, at the Arts Club, we do a lot of work with students and the arts. We are a 100-year old arts educational organization that admitted men on a full and equal basis with women 100 years ago. Freddie Ferrer has been to the Club, and Mayor Dinkins visits as often as he can. The food is REAL good, lots of receptions and stuff like that, with art exhibition openings. I am planning a series at the Club for the Millennium called "The Dialogue of Civilizations". The questions that you asked are really imporrtant ones and go to the heart of the matter. I.M. Pei has received two Gold Medal Awards from us, and maybe we can arrange for some way in which we and lots of you can all participate in some event. Would like to speak with you about it, maybe even have you help plan it. Send an e-mail. I'm wired. Later, Richard J.

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!
