Okay, I forgot take a picture of the black and white picture. I'm hoping this doesn't affect my grade too much. I'll colour it later with water since the entire thing is already coloured in pencil colours.

This is a rough sketch of the artificial heart. I didn't put too much effort into it, but I'm sure the result (the coloured version) will come out nicely.
My first ever watercoloured painting of the heart. I think I may have over done it with the colouring and I don't like it too much. It looks like the colour is thick and makes the heart look... I don't know the word to describe my despise of the heart. I think too smooth or too much gradient? I don't know. I think I can improve from this and hopefully avoid doing the same mistake twice.
They are two different subjects. Art is used to sketch out and make the anatomy of a person's limb (in this unit/topic for now), so that the image can later be converted/made into an artificial limb for the person. The way science supports art is the knowledge of that particular limb; what are the problems with the damaged limb, can we repair it with just medicine and a surgery and so on.
For example, if someone had a heart failure and would need a replacement, scientists would need to know how to the heart works and apply that knowledge into the artificial heart. They would need to find a way to make the heart pump the blood to all parts of the body and at the same time gather the deoxygenated blood from the body. They would also need to connect the artificial heart so that it will allow blood to travel to carry oxygen in order to keep the person alive and still living. David
Back in Florence, he completed his most famous sculpture, David. David, depicted at the moment he decides to battle Goliath, was a symbol of Florentine freedom. It is said to be a masterpiece of line and form. References: - "Michelangelo, His Paintings, and Sculptures."Michelangelo:Paintings,Sculptures,Biography of Michelangelo. N.p., n.d.

In his early twenties, that Michelangelo sculpted Pieta now in St. Peters in the Vatican, in which the Virgin Mary weeps over the body of Jesus. Michelangelo went to the marble quarry and selected the marble for this exquisite piece himself.

Michelangelo (1475-1564) was a sculptor, painter and architect widely considered to be one of the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance period—and arguably of all time. Designs for fortified defenses: The geometries of these drawings derive from their very practical purpose, allowing structural defense from the incoming missiles of the attackers and allowing retaliation from the defenders.

Leonardo da Vinci had many ideas that employed the use of pulleys, weights and gears. Da Vinci also incorporated these mechanisms into his self-propelled cart invention, which many people consider the very first robot. But da Vinci used the parts to create another robot too – his Robotic Knight. the Robotic Knight consisted of a knight suit filled with gears and wheels that were connected to an elaborate pulley and cable system. Through these mechanisms, da Vinci’s robotic knight was capable of independent motion - sitting down, standing up, moving its head and lifting its visor. My opinion: To me, it seems that the Robot Knight only knows how to sit down, stand up, move it's head and do other easy stuff that requires moving its body. But nonetheless, I have to agree that the use of pulleys, weights and gears of the Robot Knight was clever. And no less, invented by Da Vinci. References: "Robotic Knight."

As with many of da Vinci’s ideas, he never actually built and tested it – but his notes and drawings mapped out exactly how the device would operate. Da Vinci scrawled next to his sketches of the screw-like machine the following description: "If this instrument made with a screw be well made – that is to say, made of linen of which the pores are stopped up with starch and be turned swiftly, the said screw will make its spiral in the air and it will rise high." Da Vinci’s helicopter measured more than 15 feet in diameter and was made from reed, linen and wire. My opinion: It looks very different from the helicopter now, but that's the beauty of evolution in this world. Everything keeps changing with time. I'm surprise the people (I assume) build this knew how to operate by looking at Da Vinci's blueprints/design of the Aerial Screw. References: "Helicopter (Aerial Screw)."

This was one of the main ideas behind many of da Vinci’s war inventions – among them, his giant crossbow. Designed for pure intimidation. Rather than fire giant arrows, Leonardo’s crossbow instead seems to be designed to fire large stones or possibly flaming bombs. For use, a soldier spins a crank to pull back the bow and loads the artillery. The soldier would then use a mallet to knock out a holding pin and fire the weapon. His vivid drawings of the giant crossbow invention also make it clear the idea behind the impressive weapon was to terrify enemies into fleeing rather than fighting. My opinion: I definitely did not see this coming. I know Leonardo's made a lot of inventions and one of them being a giant crossbow caught my eye. It's stated that the contraption is designed to fire large stones instead in which it reminds of like a sling shot, only bigger and in a design of a crossbow. The picture or design of the giant crossbow looks like it's very stable. References: "Giant Crossbow." Leonardo Da Vinci's Invention. N.p., n.d.
