Ninja Turtle's Name


Honestly, I' m not a Ninja Turtle's fans.
But I want to share about the origin of their names.
During the History of Art class, the lecturer keep on reminds us, memorize Ninja Turtle's Name until the day we die.
I' m like.."WHAAAT??"
and now I know what it is so important to all art student.

Let me introduce the Ninja Turtles...

THAAADAAAH~

Blue Mask Turtle (Leonardo) - the leader and the eldest in the group, uses twin ninjakin as weapon.
Red Mask Turtle (Raphael) - the 2nd eldest in the group,hot head and uses twin sais (dagger) as weapon.
Purple Mask Turtle (Donatello) - the 2nd youngest in the group, brainiac and uses a bo staff as weapon.
Orange Mask Turtle (Michelangelo) - the youngest in the group, joker and uses two nunchaku.


These are the name Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo who are the most famous and significant artist in Renaissance period.


Leonardo was an Italian Renaissance genius. He as a painter, sculptor, anatomist, geologist,  architect, musician, mathematician, cartographer, botanist, engineer, inventor and writer.
