Vitruvian man
In Art and Maths we are studying how we can use the parts of the body for measurement. We started measuring firstly with our palms by using our hand span. We then began investigating the work of the artist Leonardo da Vinci. The most influential painting was the Vitruvian man, where da Vinci discovered that we can measure human proportions using other parts of the body. Using geometry he found out the interesting fact that our arm span is actually the same measurement as our height!
