Leonardo da Vinci's Workshop

How can a painter also be an inventor?

The Mystery Workshop

After watching the water lilies move gently and the weeping willows sing, Lina and Hugo discover that the light changed the colors of the flowers. A little robin then guides them to a new magical place. It leads them to a workshop full of gears‎ (1), flying plans, and unfinished canvases. Painting machines move all by themselves! Lina, with her blue beret and paint-splattered shirt, carefully observes every detail. Hugo, with his colorful jacket and round glasses splattered with paint, is amazed by the inventions coming to life before his eyes. A translucent‎ (2) and glowing figure appears, with blurry and ethereal‎ (3)‎ (4) features, wearing a cape that seems made of mist and eyes shining with ancient wisdom. Sketches‎ (5) and plans float around her. A voice in the wind whispers: Welcome, young explorers, to Leonardo da Vinci's workshop. Here, art and science meet to create wonders.

Hugo, with his eyes wide open, asks:
« What is this place? »

Lina, amazed, says:
« It's magical! »

Hugo, amazed, shouts:
« Look, painting machines! »

Lina, amazed, exclaims:
« Look, paintings that move! »

Soon after, a machine that mixes colors catches Hugo's attention. He watches the pigments‎ (6) mix and change color in the light. Meanwhile, Lina admires an unfinished painting where faces seem to come to life. A voice in the wind, Leonardo da Vinci's, is heard explaining that every color has a story and a purpose.

A small automaton gives them a golden feather. It says: Invention + Art = Magic. A shining clue!

The Secret of Colors

Lina and Hugo look at the golden feather. They understand that art and invention are connected. They need to find out how. They watch the machines and the canvases.

Hugo, amazed, whispers:
« This feather is magical. »

Lina, amazed, whispers:
« Yes, it shines. »

Hugo, curious, exclaims:
« Look, shapes are appearing on the canvas. »

Lina, looking at the paintings, says:
« Maybe we need to finish them. »

Hugo takes his giant brush. Lina uses her magic palette. They start painting together. The shapes come to life under their brushstrokes. A painting machine starts moving. It draws complex shapes. Lina and Hugo must work together to solve the puzzle and complete the drawing.

After finishing the shapes on the canvas, a small gray mouse with curious eyes is spotted in a corner of the workshop. It is guided towards a hidden door that opens onto a colorful path leading to a square full of giant canvases. There, painted faces seem to come to life, blinking and smiling, ready to share their stories. Lina and Hugo, amazed, are prepared to discover new adventures in the world of painters and enchanted brushes. A translucent and glowing figure appears, floating in the air. Sketches and plans swirl around it. The voice of Leonardo da Vinci, the voice in the wind, whispers: Keep exploring, young artists, and discover the secrets of art and science. Your next adventure awaits!
