In excerpt from Leonardo da Vinci Renaissance Genius why were Leonardo and the other apprentices required to complete chores like sweeping the floor and cleaning brushes? Use two details from the article to support your response

In the text "Leonardo da Vinci: Renaissance Genius" by Barbara O'Connor, we learn about the early years of Leonardo da Vinci, when he was an apprentice. The reason why Leonardo and other apprentices were required to complete chores like sweeping the floors and cleaning brushes was because they were new and inexperienced. This meant that they did not know how to perform other tasks that were required in an art studio.

We learn this based on two pieces of evidence. The author tells us that Leonardo "knew nothing about the art techniques that were being practiced around him." We also learn that older apprentices with more experience were given more complex tasks, such as tending to the kilns used to harden clay sculptures.
