July General Members Meeting
Date: July 17, 2021
Time: 10am - 1pm
Location: Zoom Virtual Meeting please check emails for details.
Topic: Drawing from the teachings of Gemma Black, Dawn Ponist will share the history of the Fibonacci sequence and how it relates to art. We will draw, paint and letter using the Fibonacci Spiral as our basic structure. A Fibonacci spiral starts with a rectangle partitioned into 2 squares. In each step, a square the length of the rectangle's longest side is added to the rectangle. Since the ratio between consecutive Fibonacci numbers approaches the golden ratio as the Fibonacci numbers approach infinity, so too does this spiral become more like the previous approximation the more squares are added.
