An introduction to the “Divina Proportione”, as it was called by Leonardo Da Vinci’s friend, Luca Pacioli. We know it as the “Golden Section”. This proportion found in nature has been much studied and loved by philosophers and artists throughout the ages. (Auseklis Ozols)

This class explores the meaning and symbolism within the golden proportion. Used in compositional structure & visual communication throughout history, this important study presents the artist with explorations between growth patterns in nature, visual literacy, and connection to our environment.

AO draws, demonstrates, and narrates simultaneously. He creates a complete rendering of the process live with a compass and a ruler. Investigation and analysis of use in artist’s compositions, architecture and sculpture will also be presented. A period for question and answer will follow.
