Hi Everyone, I’m writing all current Viz Arts students and our excellent alums to talk about some pretty big deal stuff. I hope this letter finds you well and having great summer adventures and I hope you will all be psyched and eager to participate once you read this. In September, (28 through November 9, 2008) the Birmingham Museum of Art will host one of the most significant groups of drawings by Leonardo da Vinci to be loaned to a U.S. museum . Organized by the Birmingham Museum of Art, the exhibition Leonardo da Vinci: Drawings from the Biblioteca Reale in Turin encompasses one of Leonardo's most celebrated notebooks, the Codex on the Flight of Birds, and 11 important drawings, including one described by Bernard Berenson as the "most beautiful drawing in the world."

He was a painter, sculptor inventor, military engineer, anatomist, botanist, and geologist. You can totally make this artwork dovetail with the particular themes and issues you already pursue in your own work. You
