Classroom Visits and Seminars Designed for middle school and high school arts and humanities courses. The seminar format gives students a real workout in the presence of Leonardo's demanding yet charming intensity. They have the opportunity to exercise their understanding of the connections among fields of knowledge that in traditional school settings remain segregated. They have the opportunity to build a sense of context for the events of history. And they have the opportunity to reflect on the nature of their own genius, a budding sense of purpose in life and an obligation to extend and apply one's gifts in service to the world. I am myself inspired by the mentor/apprentice model of learning and this exchange provides a glimpse into its initiatory power.
