I believe that Leonardo Da Vinci was my favorite because he could write backwards. I mean that's surprising because i would hate to look in the mirror just to read something every single day I mean come on no one wants to do that. My favorite thing that he made was the Mona Lisa but what I don't understand is why does people think that one side is closer i mean I don't believe it. It looks the same to me but people have their own opinion. And I also can't believe that the Mona Lisa now is probably not actually the real one so that must have surprised a lot of people.

I agree with you because a lot of his work was not just art but also other items. He was different from other artists and I liked that about him.

I agree! He was able to do that by memory and most people in the present can't even type backwards with their computer!

I agree with you Erin, because it is very difficult to write backwards. But Erin, when you look at the Mona Lisa carefully, you will see that the valley walkway is much larger than the passage leading off to the river.

the thing is the question asks about the art, not other things that they did, personally think micalangelo did better art.

I agree with you, Erin. I think that is amazing that Leonardo Da Vinci could write backwards so that people cannot steal any of his ideas.

I agree with Erin because the Mona Lisa is an amazing picture. Also I it is fascinating because it only 20.87 inches wide and 30.31 inches high and it is still a very amazing peace of work.

I agree with you Erin because Leonardo just did everything very secretive. Which made him very interesting, like his mirror writing so nobody could copy him and how he secretly cut open corpses to find out what's inside.

I think Leonardo Da Vici was my favorite. He is my favorite because I liked the Mona Lisa. I thought that the painting has so many facts and different opinions about it so I like that about it.

I agree with you, Olivia, that Leonardo was probably most people favorites. Leonardo could do many things that most people could not do. The Mona Lisa is a very famous painting that most people would know about. Leonardo was a very important person to the Renaissance.

I think that my favorite is Leonardo Do Vinci. He is the person who could do just about anything, if he was alive today you could tell him to do something, he would able to do it. He was just about everything that he could be in the Renaissance. He was a very famous painter, sculptor, and other things. Not that he is not famous now. He was also born with his parents not being married, which was a big problem back in the Renaissance. He could write backwards, which even if I tried I would come with a something like scribbles. My favorite piece that he made was the Mona Lisa, and people think that one side is closer than the other, I don't quite understand that. Not to offend the other guy, but I think that Leonardo Do Vinci was probably the best there could be in the Renaissance.

I agree with Lidia. It was very surprising what Leonardo did. I mean come on. HE COULD WRITE BACKWARDS!!! What I don't agree with is he sometimes wouldn't do it because if you ask him to grow wings then he wonk be able to do it but ypu said he could about do it if you tell him to.

Correction, its Leonardo DA Vinci, but yes I do agree. Even with all of the ways people thought were bad, as in he was an illegitimate child and left-handed. He was still able to accomplish great paintings and inventions, not saying he couldn't in the first place.

I like Leonardo's paintings better. He was able to create beautiful works of art, even though he did so much else. He was so smart, and he was able to write backwards to protect his ideas.My favorite work of art by him is the Mona Lisa. I like it the best because it is kind of a mystery on how he wanted it to be done. Also, The Mona Lisa had the change in background, where part of it looks more distant and the other part looks much closer.

I agree with Mary Leonardo's paintings are better. Also the Mona Lisa is my favorite painting to. The painting is so famous because of the elusive smile on her face.

Michelangelo because the paintings from Leonardo kind of freaked me out, they looked mannequin like but I still liked it. The sculptures he made were really cool and so much detail, they had some unique poses witch is something I find cool because drawing people in so many different poses is hard to do and the fact that he can sculpt it is so impressive.

My favorite is Leonardo Da Vinci. Leonardo taught himself to write backwards so nobody copies off of him. He was a painter, sculptor, and other things. My favorite piece that he painted was the Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa is my favorite because of the elusive smile on her face.

I liked Leonardo Da Vinci because he could write backwards and he made the first drawing of the helicopter. Also his panting Ginevra de Benci was kinda creepy but I think its cool that he can make a panting look realist.

I think that Leonardo Da Vinci was the most impressive because he could write backwards. I think that that is awesome because people cannot steal his ideas, or know what he is writing. Also, recently tried putting together his inventions, and they worked! He was very smart, and knew what he was doing.

Michelangelo is my favorite because of all the statues he made. All of the statues are very lifelike and realistic. If I were to make a statue I would put a giant crack in the whole slab of rock before it turned into anything.

I like Michelangelo better because his statues are beautiful (even though they need more clothes) they are lifelike and cool, I like the Pieta, because they have clothes and it is just an overall pretty statue.

I liked Leonardo Da Vinci the most because he used mirror writing. He would write backwards in his notebooks. He did this to make sure no one would steal his ideas. My favorite piece of art that he made was the Mona Lisa. It's a very simple painting, but it's one of his most famous paintings.

My favorite person is Leonardo Da Vinci. He is my favorite because it proves it does not need to be a huge picture to be very popular and it is still as amazing as other paintings. Also some people say it was a mistake so he turned it into a girl and that proves that if you mess up does not mean it is bad .

I find Leonardo Da Vinci to be my favorite artist, and one of his most famous paintings, Annunciation. Out of all the ones that I saw on the website, this painting seemed to capture my attention the most.

I agree with you Angela. Leonardo did more in his life than Michelangelo. He sketched the first airplane, tank, helicopter, etc. This is why I thought he was better.

I think the best was Leonardo Da Vinci mostly because he made many ideas for modern day technology before it was modern. He also was smart enough to write backwards! People now have to use a custom website just to write two sentences.

I disagree with Austin. Leonardo Da Vinci made some very important inventions way ahead of his time. But I don't think that that has much to do with his art. This was very important about him but that does not really have to with his art. He made many great pieces but they were mostly paintings. I think that sculptures are cooler because they are 3D and Michelangelo made them very accurate. Leonardo Da Vinci was a very interesting man but I think that Michelangelo was better in art work.

I think Leonardo Da Vinci was the best because of how many things he did. He invented guns, stdied the human body, painted, etc. He could do everything. I also liked how he wrote backwards so nobody could steal his work and claim it as their own.

I think that Michelangelo because of the work he did at the Laurentian Library. I think the stairs really look kind of cool. Michelangelo was also different than almost every body at the time because he was left handed. If you were left handed then you were considered to be marked by the devil. Michelangelo is my favorite because of what he did. Leonardo Da Vinci was cool with what he made but what Michelangelo did with his sculptures was very nice. He was a very good sculpture. I liked the stairs the most because they looked different. How they were placed out was very kind of cool. This is why I like Michelangelo the best.

My favorite of the two is Leonardo da Vinci. He did much more than what Michelangelo did. My favorite piece of art from both of them is the Mona Lisa. My favorite from Michelangelo would be David.
