Learning from the Master: A Conceptual Drawing
Project by Polygence alum Israel
Project's result
Israel's final project was a conceptual drawing that intersects the different facets of da Vinci through his own interpretation.
They started it from zero. Are you ready to level up with us?
Summary
Israel's project focused on Leonardo da Vinci: the Scientist, the Inventor, the Artist. He studied da Vinci's legacy and interrogated the perspectives da Vinci represents today. His study took a holistic approach as Israel both read academic articles and followed da Vinci's lead in keeping a notebook/sketchbook to think through the ideas that were presented in his research.

Project review
“In regards to my mentor and the program, I really enjoyed my time as a whole. It's not often that you get to study something you actually enjoy with a PhD graduate--or rather a friend because even after weeks of working together, you can really start to appreciate each other.”
