• TOPIC: GEOMETRY & NATURE: PAINTING THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
Briefly, we will explore the fascinating history of the Fibonacci sequence and understand why it is so important to creative people and creative minds. We will draw, paint and letter using the f.spiral as our basis. We will work both freehand (trust me) as well as geometrically draw the sequence. A three-hour workshop of pure joy and amazing outcomes is awaiting you. A little Math is required, but you don’t have to be good at it!
