Many Renaissance artists used the golden ratio in their paintings to achieve beauty. Some of the results i got were 1.7 which is very close to the golden ratio, and others were way off with results of nearly 2.1. Distance from your wrist to your elbow by length of your hand.Distance from the ground to your belly button by distance from the ground to your knees.Distance from the ground to your belly button by distance from your belly button to the top of your head.Distance from your belly button to the top of your head.Distance from the ground to your belly button.We had a try at this ourselves by measuring: Many people believed that by taking measurements of your body, and then using the formula of phi, you were beautiful if the result was 1.60. The golden ratio was first called the ‘Divine Proportion’ in the 1500’s. It was Euclid that first talked about Phi as taking a line and separating it into two, in a way that the ratio of the shortest segment to the longest will be the same ratio of the longest to the original line (Bellos, 2010). Phi was first used by Greek sculptor and mathematician, Phidias (Meisner, 2012, a). This relates to Fibonacci’s sequence, as ratio of each successive pair of numbers in the sequence approximates Phi (1.618.), as 5 divided by 3 is 1.666…, and 8 divided by 5 is 1.60 (Meisner, 2012, b). This number is found by the formula (a+b)/a = a/b . ![]() The golden ratio is the number 1.618033, also known as phi (Φ). It also talks about the golden ratio and its relevance to Fibonacci’s sequence. This video looks at Fibonacci’s sequence and how it is found in nature. When this sequence is drawn out in squares, it makes spiral, also known as the ‘Golden Ratio’. This sequence starts with 0, and is when the two previous numbers add up to the following number, so it goes: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89…etc. The next thing we looked at was the Fibonacci sequence. This is an example of mathematical beauty in nature, science and architecture.Here is my own interpretation of a Mondrian style of artwork. It’s not that it exists everywhere, but in learning about it, one develops an eye for the sequencing and ultimately, an appreciation for its beauty. Being aware of Fibonacci works the same way. Now that word joy seems to be coming up a lot, more than what one might have noticed before. It’s like hearing a specific word, say “joy”, that leaves an imprint (for whatever reason) on a person. But for nature lovers and photographers, it is interesting to note that once aware of Fibonacci, it seems to be around us more and more …. Is the Fibonacci sequence found in all of nature? The answer is no. Perhaps the most famous known series of photographs was explored in Edward Weston’s 1920’s iconic black and white portraits of this mystical spiral: the Nautilus. Geometric shapes of spirals and their related triangles are seen in many plants and flowers, weather storm rotations like hurricanes and tornadoes, huge spiral galaxies and tiny marine shells.
