CONCENTRATION+WORK

Please comment during class on the discussion page here...

Carolyn: For my concentration piece, I plan on utilizing the concept of the Fibonacci numbers (For n > 1; Fn = Fn-1+ Fn-2) to create a piece influenced also by the trigonal cystal system, with proportions approximate to the golden ratio (φ). All of these number concepts are commonly found in nature, the most well- nown example of the golden ratio being related to the Fibbonacci numbers, and also the proportions of the nautilus shell.



To the left, quartz crystal. To the right, a nautilus shell with sponding golden spiral outlined in blue. It is said that the golden ratio defines the standard by which we, as humans, judge beauty.

Brookee: The concentration piece that i completed for 12/15 was an 8"x10" prismacolor picture of a jar of hearts inspired by the song,"jar of hearts" by christina perri. and my interpretation of the piece is basically an illustration of someone who is selfish and doesn't care for anyones feelings but their own and they will lie, cheat and break as many hearts as they please just to seek their own satisfaction.
