This week we looked at the golden ratio, which is the ratio between two numbers that equals 1.618. It was first mentioned in 300 BC by Euclid it was later popularised by Leonardo Da Vinci who thought it represented divinely inspired simplicity and orderliness. These are some examples of the golden ration in real life and within artwork:
The Fibonacci sequence is the sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. between these two methods the Fibonacci sequence is the more mathematical based on spacing and sizing whereas the golden ratio is similar but is used more in design and art.
These are some Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio designs i made in figma using point line and plane:
As i was researching the golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence i found it was interesting that a mathematical sequence or method can reflect in nature so many times, the main examples in nature of the golden ratio are: seashells, whirlpools, leaves & plants, pine cones and even spiral galaxies.
