At age 15 he went to be an apprentice under Verrocchio and fast he became much better than him. After that he became interested in painting, architecture, engineering, and anatomy. In 1505-1507 he painted the Mona Lisa. He had over 13000 pages of drawings. Sadly he died in France May 2, 1519.

Giotto painted so religiosity soon after he started he was better than Cimabue. Giotto married at the age of 20. Later he had 8 children and one became a painter.

Origami owl

Origami owl is a company that makes lockets that you can put charms in. I have one locket and six charms. They have different sizes, small, medium, and large. If you a small you can barely fit 3 charms. If you have a medium you can barely fit 5 charms. If you have a large, you can fit just about eight. The charms are about the size of a pinky finger nail. Each charms cost about five dollars. And lockets cost around fifteen (chains are sold separately from lockets). I hope you will enjoy these lockets.
