Leonardo Da Vinci 7 Creative Principles


As we all know, Leonardo Da Vinci was a great man living in 16th century. He's not only a painter, but also a scientist, architect, musician, inventor, anatomist, geologist, writer and many more. Micheal J Gelb, a renowned speaker stated that there are several creative levels that Da Vinci did that allows him to become one of the greatest man on the earth. The seven creative levels are:-

  1. Curiosita - The sense of wonder and curiosity must be high in ourselves. 
  2. Dimostrazione - Testing your knowledge based on life experience, tenacity and willing to learn.
  3. Sensazione - Heightened your senses continuously.
  4. Sfumato - Your readiness to receive new knowledge and opinion even if it contradicts with yours.
  5. Arte/Scienza - Expand your thought and interest trough art (imagination) and science (logic).
  6. Corporalita - Creating excellence using body conditioning eg: able to write using both hands.
  7. Connesione - Be open and appreciate all the things around us. 

By using these 7 principles, Da Vinci was able to open a path that was beyond human limitation. He also proved that with talent, people can only go this far. But with the tenacity to learn new things, willing to embrace new knowledge and always wanted to know more can help us in achieving what we couldn't before. That is why God gives us both left and right brain so that we will become the perfect being in the whole universe.
