A Special Presentation ...
FROM THE MIND OF
LEONARDO DA VINCI:
Visionary Machines and Ideas -
a lesser known side of this brilliant man
Presented by Geoffrey Kashdan
Sunday, April 25 at 7:30 pm
LIVE on COMPUTER or PHONE
Leonardo Da Vinci was an AMAZING and brilliant man! He wrote a letter to Ludovico Sforza in which he offered "his resume". He proceeded to outline 36 areas of his expertise ... and at the time, Leonardo was only 30 years old!
We all know of Da Vinci's beautiful paintings and his anatomical explorations. Less known to people of our time was his fascination and experimentation with mechanical designs, many of which would be realized about 500 years AFTER his death! He was an extremely interesting and unique person in history and will be the TOPIC for this discussion to be expertly presented by educator Geoffrey Kashdan!
We look forward to having your participation in this special Sunday evening program!
The Zoom meeting information will be shared the week prior to this event.
