Students will bring geometry to life. Using only a compass, a straight-edge and colored pencils we will explore how the underlying harmonies of nature are not arbitrary, but practical and functional embodiments of a creative process that is striving for balance, harmony, and wholeness. There is an elegant beauty and efficiency in all of this, and nature’s hidden patterns of sharing are embodied in the outward expressions of form—how the same ratios underlie the patterns of the human skeletal system and the unfolding growth of embryo, how the Fibonacci Series and Golden Section work in architecture and nature, how to design using, Root Rectangles, Phi spirals, and Platonic Solids—and all of this is accomplished with no mathematical formulas or daunting technicalities! For everyone interested in the universal patterns which connect art, science, and nature — the dynamic patterns which bind us all to the living soul of the world. All
Levels.
