Year 5 we were very fortunate to meet Martin Kemp, an expert on Leonardo Da Vinci. He talked about his sketches, diagrams and artwork, explaining how he used mathematics and physics to produce realistic and anatomically correct diagrams. We also learnt about Da Vinci's interest in flight and some of the diagrams he had created. Martin Kemp was part of a project to produce a real model of the wings Da Vinci had sketched. These wings were used by a professional paraglider and actually worked, showing how advanced Da Vinci was in creating a working flying machine. It was a fascinating talk which has made me want to find out more!
