The New Renaissance Man
The final task will be to answer the question:
“Who would you nominate to be today’s version of 'The Renaissance Man’”?
Think about the original Renaissance Man, his characteristics, qualities, and choices in life that led him to excel. Identify a New Renaissance Man/Woman of today, whose characteristics, qualities, and choices in life have led him/her to excel in similar ways.
To get you started, click here to view a compilation of "Modern Day Leonardos" as chosen by Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, in association with a recent exhibit of Leonardo's work. You may choose a person from their list, or someone you've thought of on your own. https://www.msichicago.org/scrapbook/scrapbook_exhibits/leonardo/modern/index.html
Make a PowerPoint slide to show your nomination. Compare and contrast these two individuals in a clear manner, and defend your choice in a few short sentences. (See the example on the sub-page.) Save your finished slide to Google Drive. Share it with Mrs. Marx so she can grade it and print a color copy of it for you.
