Elisha and David visited their grandparents in Melbourne last summer. While there, their aunt Kate, who is studying art, decided to give them a surprise. One rainy day, Kate taught Elisha and David about painting by discussing famous works like the Mona Lisa with them. Kate showed them images of the Mona Lisa and explained why it is so famous and captivating despite its small size, dark colors, and subtle smile. She discussed how Leonardo da Vinci used subtle brush strokes and color to create a sense of life and mystery in his subject. Elisha and David were amazed by Kate's knowledge of art and enjoyed learning from her.

- 10. Mona Lisa byLeonardo da Vince In the present era, this is arguably the most famous painting in the world. Its fame rests, in particular, on the elusive smile on the woman's face which many people think to be very pleasing and divine No doubt this is a beautiful painting but why has this become the most iconic image in the world? Yes, it is not obvious. By first impression she is very small, dark and very yellow. Watch closely , she is trying to communicate with us with her delicate smile.

- 11. Did you observeher hands? You can have the feel of bones and the joints in the back of her palms. The artist has painted the model in its most natural way.. How did Leonardo managed to paint this mysterious and captivating woman Leonardo da Vinci was Italian painter who was clever at many different things. Look how he makes subtle use of colour . He doesn’t rely on lines and applies indistinguishable brush strokes. He makes use of the light reflected from the image. See how the nose line is illuminated and so the other parts of her face. Did you notice that the background is rather dull? And that catches our eyes more towards the face. The painting, thought to be a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo, and is believed to have been painted between 1503 and 1506. It was acquired by King Francis 1 of France and is now on permanent display in a museum in Paris
