If you have done day 16's daily page ✨ Did you notice how many of today's scribbles turned into faces? Mine did too. So I did a bit of research into this, and it's really interesting. 😍 About 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci wrote in his notebook that 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸, 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹. You'll find landscapes, battles, figures and "strange faces" in it. He said it was like hearing words in the jangle of bells. 🔔 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼𝗼. Researchers looking at two caves in northern Spain found that more than half of the animals were drawn around bumps, edges and cracks already in the rock. 😱 𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝙨𝙖𝙬 𝙖 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙡, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙤 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙤. Which is exactly what you did this morning with a pen and a scribble. 🖊️ So if it felt like cheating, it isn't. People have been finding pictures this way for tens of thousands of years. What turned up in yours, a face, an animal, something else?
