You walk into a candlelit room full of art supplies and drawings of Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci. Soon you find yourself swept up in Leonardo’s Workshop: An ArtEdventure at www.sanford-artedventures.com/play/leonardo. You and Carmine Chameleon are on a quest to go back to 1505 A.D. and find the culprit who made da Vinci’s painting disappear. Armed with a bag and a handbook, you’ll discover many extraordinary facts about Renaissance art. Find out why da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” was actually a disaster.
