A great painter—Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci was a painter, and he was good at working out problems. He learnt from his uncle Francesco that one should ask questions and look for answers.
Da Vinci was so great because of his curiosity. He never lost his wish to learn new things. One time he wanted to know how old a tree was. He studied it and found out that by using the rings, he could know the answer. Another time, he wanted to know how he could use solar power. And by using mirrors, he heated water.
Da Vinci was so great also because of his love for reading. He read and studied every book he could find. When he read, he wrote down new words, so he could learn them later. One of his notebooks had over nine thousand words.
When he studied something, he would have more questions and greater interest. For example, when he studied light and how it helped a person see, he studied the human eye, and then the human body.
