Leonardo Da Vinci (as an Inventor)

I chose Leonardo Da Vinci as my "Big Idea" artist, specifically for the idea of evolution, because he was the most inivative thinker of his time. His ideas were revolutionary and ahead of his time. In regards to his inventions, he wanted to evolve the way people lived. He wanted to make living life easier and more practical, whether it was for transportation or for more simple day to day tasks. He ispired everyone around him to "think outside the box" when it came to revolutionizing how people lived. He was a major conntributer to the evolution of humanity.

Chris Bangle
   

   Chris Bangle is the design manager for BMW and is responsible for most of the modern designs of the company. His work appeals to me because of the subtlety of his designs. His designs are very eye pleasing and can turn heads, but also escapes the recent trends of big and gaudy designs of modern cars today. I will try to use his methods of a natural look in my midterm project by making the created image look natural and look like it "fits." I am also using him as an inspirational artists because my topic of the Big Idea is the evolution of speed.
