Leonardo DaVinci... He could think like an artist and a scientist, which gave him something more valuable: the ability to visualize theoretical concepts.
  • Walter Isaacson

There may be no better argument for a liberal arts education. With experience and expertise in both arts and sciences, Leonardo DaVinci may have been the most creative thinker ever.
​
Da Vinci was also voraciously curious and audaciously driven – neither of which would have borne fruit without his broad multidisciplinary knowledge and experience. Everything was interesting,  so DaVinci made the most of every conversation, sunset, book, question, or walk through the town.

This made for exciting days.

This time of year in New England there is so much natural beauty to fuel curiosity.
 
This time of year on campus there is so much energy and excitement to fuel many interests.

Be voraciously curious.  Make everything interesting. Embrace your,  and your child’s, inner DaVinci.

    Lagniappe is New Orleanian for a little something extra. On this blog my goal is to share something that has caught my eye or gotten me thinking. Something extra…I truly enjoy writing it, and I appreciate the time spent to read it.

    I am an educator by calling. Insatiable curiosity is a job requirement, and learning something new every day is one of the perks.
