I’m on an interesting communications skills course for a few days, and already, by just 10.30 on day one, I have an interesting reference. Apparently, Da Vinci had 7 ways of thinking and exploring ideas, puzzles and so on.

1. Curiosità
2. Dimonstrazione
3. Sensazione
4. Sfumato
5. Arte/Scienza
6. Corporalità
7. Connessione

These are in Italian, so I’ll expand and translate (not that it’s hard to guess the English) when I get a chance.

These come from Michael Gelb’s book How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci which I haven’t read – as I say it was just referenced on this course.
