Are you a fan of Leonardo da Vinci's artwork? Do you think there are animal images hiding in da Vinci's Mona Lisa or do you think the man from New York is seeing things? Why? What do you think makes great art?

I'm not really a fan on Leonardo da Vinci's artwork. I don't think there's animals in Mona Lisa and I think he might be seeing things. Its too small to put animal features in it. I think what makes great art is color. I like all kinds of color.

I’m not a fan of Leonardo da Vinci’s artwork. I think the man is seeing things in the photos. There aren’t any animals in the photos. I think color and structure make great artwork.

I'm not really a fan of art period. But I do find some art interesting. I don't see any images of animals but there very well could be.

I would not call my self a fan of da Vinci's work but i do like some of his paintings. No, I don't think there are any animals hiding in these pictures. Yes, da Vinci had a lot of meaning in his art work but i think in goes deeper than an animals face. I think color, design, and time make great art work.

I really love some of his art work. I think that he is seeing things that aren't there. Because he has too much time on his hands, and they look like blobs too me. I think imagination and being creative makes great artwork.

I don't really pay attention to art. I guess he believes what he believes but I could careless. I don't know what makes great art because I'm not a very artistic person.

Leonardo da Vinci is one of the best artists ever. I think there is animals in the Mona Lisa because Leonardo always added something extra to his paintings. Really anything makes art, And Leonardo was good at doing that.

I am not a fan of Leonardo da Vinci's artwork. I don't think that there are images of animals hiding in the painting. I think that the man from New York may be seeing things, because no one else has seen these hidden images. Great detail in color and texture makes great art.

I wouldn't say I was a fan of Leonardo da Vinci's work, I do think some of his paintings are pretty though. I think there could be hidden images in the painting. I don't think the man is seeing things. I think the great thing about art is that a person can paint something so amazing and perfect. Being able to paint things such as Leonardo da Vinci did is an amazing talent!

Keith Bryant: Well I fell if there really would be things, or so called images hidden in his art work. He was a very strange man who loved to make these sorts of secrets in all of his work. For the question of what is great art…..great art is in the beholder it is all in what you feel will make people enjoy your work. Someone will like it or love it and some will say it’s not art. But what the real question should be is “what is art?”

I have all way seen his art in the text books at school. I have never even though of looking for animals in his paintings. I thank that this man from New York might be on to something. I thank in order to be a good arts to have to have a good imagination.

I am a fan of most of his paintings. I think the man form New York may be on to something. Da Vinci was a genius he could have put hidden meanings in his art. I think anything you are extremely good with a few exceptions can be considered art.

I am a fan of Leonardo da Vinci's artwork. I kind of think there are animals in the paintings, only because this man brought it up. I've never really looked at the paintings that hard to discover it for myself, though. I think vibrant colors make art great. I also think that paintings that tell a story make great art as well.

I’m not personally a fan of Leonardo da Vinci’s work, partly because I don’t like art in general. After seeing the man from New York point out the places where he sees the animal images, I don’t think he is just seeing things. However, he could be just doing this as a money scheme and finding places where he thinks he sees these images. Everyone knows that finding something new in a painting as worldwide as Leonardo da Vinci’s would cause uproar and bring in a lot of attention. I think great art is something that tells a story and is very straightforward (doesn’t have many “hidden messages” and metaphors).

I am not a fan of Leonardo da Vinci's Art, I really don't like art but some art work is interesting .I didn't see any animal images in the art work but it might be some in there. I think the people that express there feelings and tell stories in there art work and it makes it great.

I am not a huge fan of art, period. People who can make art are very talented. But, I do not see any animals in the painting. The man who sees art, I think is just looking for something more than there is. I can't judge art because I don't like art at all. The stuff I like most people don't; the stuff I don't like most people do.
