Need inspiration to create something new or solve a problem? Are you stuck in your thinking? The solution is creativity! When was the last time you had a great idea?
Ever heard of the Mona Lisa? Yeah, it’s kind of a big deal. It was created by Leonardo da Vinci over 500 years ago, He IS the master of creativity! He still inspires us today.
Leonardo was a Renaissance man, meaning he did many things. While being a master painter, he was also a military engineer, mathematician, scientist, architect, and the list goes on. Without the creativity and intelligence that he brought into the world, our lives today would be very different.
Leonardo da Vinci was absolutely incredible and no one really knows why…
He is the reason we wonder!
To celebrate his greatness and creativity, GCC annually hosts a Creativity Conference to celebrate Leonardo di Vinci’s birthday! This year we are recognizing 565 years of excellence.
