Leonardo da Vinci: How to Be Creative Course by Historic Mentor
In How to Be Creative, Leonardo reveals creativity as a disciplined way of seeing — where curiosity replaces certainty, observation precedes explanation, and art and science arise from the same impulse to understand nature. Drawing directly from his notebooks, sketches, and unfinished experiments, this course reconstructs Leonardo’s creative process as a lifelong practice of questioning, drawing, testing, and revising.
