Italian Students See How History Comes Alive<br />
“Astonishing” and “ahead of his time” are the words<br />
that students in Italian classes used to describe<br />
Leonardo DaVinci and his contributions to the<br />
world of art and science.<br />
In January, the Italian classes visited a traveling exhibit<br />
at the DuPage Children’s Museum, sponsored<br />
in part by the Italian Cultural Institute.<br />
History, art, science and the Italian language came<br />
together as students learned about the use of perspective<br />
in artwork, the science behind catapulting,<br />
what it might feel like to fly like a bird ... and so<br />
much more!<br />
The exhibit was very much a hands-on experience<br />
for students as they were able to draw, build, explore<br />
and soar!<br />
All in all, students had a great time and made connections<br />
about how an important figure in Italy’s<br />
history comes to life in the present day...every day!<br />
