![]() ![]() The Fibonacci sequence is used to understand the spirals in sunflowers and pinecones. The Great Wave with the Fibonacci spiral on top Artists can use these spirals in their work to create a sense of movement and flow. Each quarter turn of the spiral is based on the next number in the Fibonacci sequence, creating a spiral that grows according to the sequence. For example, a Fibonacci spiral is a logarithmic spiral that expands outward at a constant rate. This can create a sense of balance and harmony in your composition.Īnother way artists can use the Fibonacci sequence is by creating spirals or curves that follow the sequence. To use the golden ratio in your artwork, you can divide your canvas or paper into sections that follow the ratio of 1:1.6. This proportion is found in many natural objects, such as seashells, flowers, and even human faces. One way artists can use the Fibonacci sequence is by creating compositions that follow this golden ratio, (which is a proportion of 1.618). For that, here is a quick video I made to show you. This plain math line doesn’t really tell us what this looks like. You take the two most recent numbers in the sequence and add them together. The Fibonacci Sequence is a series of numbers that builds up on itself. Yes, Okay, But what IS the Fibonacci Sequence? ![]() A great thing about knowing this spiral, is that you can then easily get the shapes of pine cones and sunflower seeds correct. I will admit, that like many artists before me, I did have a period of time where I was obsessed with this spiral. ![]() ![]() This spiral is the same one found in a the curl of a fern, and in a spiral galaxy. This mathematical pattern is found throughout nature. One of the most common patterns in nature is the Fibonacci Sequence (also, known as the “Golden Ratio”). Hope you find this information as fascinating as I do! What is the Fibonacci Sequence? However, I started to go down the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Sequence rabbit hole, and quickly realized it needed it’s own lesson. Its hypotenuse is T^3, its bigger side is T^2 and its smaller is T^1.Originally, I planned for this lesson to be about the principle of design patterns. This orthogonal scalene triangle has all its sides in ratio T and scalene angle ArcTan, T=SQRT. My decoding Plato’s Timaeus “MOST BEAUTIFUL TRIANGLE” shows that Kepler / Magirus Triangle is a similar triangle, “not the same” and” not as beautiful”, but constituent to that of Plato’s: These familiar triangles are found embodied in pentagrams and Penrose tiles. The isosceles triangle above on the right with a base of 1 two equal sides of Phi is known as a Golden Triangle. Other triangles with Golden Ratio proportions can be created with a Phi (1.618 0339 …) to 1 relationship of the base and sides of triangles: The Kepler triangle is the only right-angle triangle whose side are in a geometric progression: The square root of phi times Φ = 1 and 1 times Φ = Φ.Īlthough difficult to prove with certainty due to deterioration through the ages, this angle is believed by some to have been used by the ancient Egyptians in the construction of the Great Pyramid of Cheops. The Pythagorean 3-4-5 triangle is the only right-angle triangle whose sides are in an arithmetic progression. It has an angle of 51.83 ° (or 51★0′), which has a cosine of 0.618 or phi. ![]()
