What Does Vitruvian Man Mean
Vitruvian Man
The Vitruvian Man is a drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci that explains his ideally proportioned man, which is:
• The length of a man’s outspread arms (Arm-span) is equal to his height.
• The Length from the elbow to the tip of the hand is a quarter of a man’s height.
• The length of the hand is one-tenth of a man’s height.
• The length of a man’s foot is one-seventh of his height.
Our class conducted a test to see whether the average BP student was correctly proportioned according to Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man.
In this experiment, we measured and recorded our class’ height, arm-span, elbow and hand-tip, hand length and foot length.
In this experiment, we come across a multitude of problems; one being that some people …show more content…
Also instead of copying off the whiteboard with messy writing, print off, handout or word document so we all had the same measurements.
After we had recorded our results and worked out the mode, median and mean we found out the average BP student were not ideally proportioned according to Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man.
In my opinion, think most of the BP students are not ideally proportioned because our class are teenagers and some of their body parts grow quicker than the other. Another reason the BP students are not ‘ideally proportioned’ could be that body shapes and sizes had changed from when Da Vinci created the Vitruvian Man.
The height to arm-span was 1cm different for the mean but as for the median and mode; they were both out by 4cm. The hand length was within 1cm for mean but the median and mode was around 6 cm out of proportion. The foot length in mean is 2cm out of proportion but then again the mode is out by 4cm and median is out by 5cm. The elbow to hand tip was 3cm out of proportion for mode and mean but median the elbow to hand was out of proportion by about
