Divine Proportion ivine Proportion is also known as the Golden Ratio. It is where math and art meet!

The Golden Ratio is a term (with an astounding number of aliases, including Golden Section and Golden Mean) used to describe aesthetically pleasing proportioning within a piece. However, it is not merely a term -- it is an actual ratio!

Phi(fie) is represented by the lower-case Greek letter . Its numeric equivalent is 1.618, which means its decimal stretches to infinity and never repeats!D

Examples in Nature! he Golden Ratio, Phi, can be found all throughout the universe! From the spirals of galaxies to the spiral of a Nautilus seashell; from the harmony of music to the beauty in art, the Divine Proportion is all around us. A botanist will find it in the growth patterns of flowers and plants, while the zoologist sees it in the breeding of rabbits. TWhere have you seen the Golden Ratio?_________________________________. Rule number 4: Practice design, not decoration.4
