Review of Leonardo’s Art Workshop Invent, Create, and Make STEAM Projects Like A Genius By Amy Leidtke

Review of Leonardo’s Art Workshop
Invent, Create, and Make STEAM Projects Like A Genius
By Amy Leidtke

As an artist, I am inspired. As an educator, I cannot wait to share Leidtke’s projects and insight with my students and other educators.  Leidtke’s interpretation of Leonardo’s work as it relates to STEAM is rich with connections. She reaches deep into the science, technology, engineering, art, and math of Da Vinci's work.  Leidtke reminds us of the importance of low tech and how it is valuable in the design process leading to high tech, such as creating drawing tools. There is value in her insight and presentation for all levels--parent, the new art educator, as well as a seasoned art educator.  My favorite projects involved color and pigment, such as Create Paint and Dyes from Food and Color in Art and Light.   This is a comprehensive book that you can return to as a reference and it has something for everyone, regardless of your field.
