OLLI Class 2015
Da Vinci and Escher; the Science of Art


The focus of this class is inspired by two special exhibitions that open at the North Carolina Museum of Art in October entitled, Leonardo da Vinci’s Codex Leicester, from the collection of Bill Gates and The World Of M.C. Escher. In this course we will take a close look at these two artists,  Da Vinci and Escher, and how their creative process synthesized science and art.
