DID YOU KNOW?
Read these great facts that our team put together for you to enjoy and expand your knowledge.
1. Indian medicines have a long history. The Vedas, of the Atharvaveda, which goes back to the 2nd millennium BCE, was mentioned as one of the various early conceptions of Indian medicine. Do you believe that ancient remedies serve as the foundation for modern medicine and they should be documented?
2. Apart from excelling in Visual Arts, Leonardo Da Vinci was also a gifted musician. He could sing and play the Lyre and the Flute. He believed that music and visual art were closely related because they both rely on one of the five senses. Do you agree?
3. Today’s artists make art with oil paints, watercolour, chalk, pastel, pencils, pens, metal, plastic and various recycled materials. However, centuries ago, artists painted with ashes from fires, red clay or pigments from plants. Try making art with one of these?
4. Penguins do not have any land-based predators (other animals that want to eat them). They are carnivores and mainly eat fish by catching them with their beaks and swallowing them whole. To grind their food in their stomach they swallow small stones and pebbles with it. Clever, right?
5. The best way to improve your memory is by avoiding stress and getting plenty of sleep and exercise. Also, if you’re studying, reading your notes aloud (reciting to yourself about the material) will help you memorise them quicker. Try it if you haven’t already.
6. Disney World (also known as Walt Disney World Resort) in Orlando, Florida, U.S, spreads across a huge area covering over 40 square miles. This is roughly the size of San Francisco or two Manhattan islands. Pretty big for a fun park right?
