I have always loved art, and one of my biggest inspirations is Leonardo Da Vinci.  He was a painter, inventor, and engineer among other things
I've heard about him but don't really know much. Can you tell me more?
Well, he is credited with many inventions, such as the tank, the parachute and helicopter
really? I would never guess that! I thought he was just a painter@
Not at all.  In fact, some historians have considered his mind to be almost "superhuman".  
i bet! Do you know if he invented anything else?
Well, he was a scientist, architect, musician, and botanist, too, so he had his hands full with a lot of different interests
He sounds like he was such an interesting person
