Because, I think, there used to be (and still are in a large part of the world) people who teach in the name of a god that allows us only to fit and function in the established western system, a prison as I've come to see it, wherein the only strive is for big money and individual happiness. God hasn't showed him/herself to me yet, and untill that day I am only loyal to mother nature and the few humans not guilty of exploiting others, humans, flora and fauna alike. But those are ideals, I just hope that one day everybody on this earth has the chance to learn something actually valuable like this and become able to create themselves, instead of the neverending dependency on the real devil that is money and it's henchmen. I've had the privilege to learn the basics of this stuff on highschool but I'm very grateful for this man his lessons as well. Greetings from a Dutchman (26) and have a nice day!

And doing the same thing over and over again but gratefully there are content like these that save us a lot. You people are truly blessed to have this kind of teacher.

[@masterpiece984]

I'm not an artist. I'm just going through some stuff and am trying to release the pain. Someone told me that the some of the best art is an expression of pain or hurt, agony, or something along those lines. I should be creating something magnificent right now, with the pain I have, bottled up in me. I need to talk about this, maybe that will help. 2010, day after Christmas was when my 13 year old daughter disappeared. I looked for her for 2 1/2 years when her remains were found outside of town by a lake. It took until last month, over 10 years, to put the man responsible for this behind bars. When we all knew. If you made it this far I'm sorry to disappoint you. I need your prayers.

The golden section is not the ratio of all living thinks but the Fibonacci sequence can be seen in most plant ratios. So it’s better to have some understanding of good proportions then one knows if and why rules can be ignored. Good to to see somebody who should have double the time and money to do an important set of lessons. Teaching should never be rushed. Golden Section is aesthetically pleasing and simple to use so that’s been around for ages.

A very close approximation of the golden mean can be obtained by dividing a very large Fibonacci number by one adjacent to it. The bigger the numbers, the closer the approximation.

As an older artist, I've never heard of this "Golden Rule" and I'm not very happy about that. I've often wondered how people could get such excellent proportions with only their eye or using some sort of grid. Until now, I was baffled at the genius and perfection of some artwork with part of me asking myself, "Did they trace it"? I'm now looking to find this tool that I've never heard of before today and I've been out of college for 35 years! Hopefully, I've got many more years in me to start putting forth more work of excellence with this information and tool. May his soul rest in peace.

And when you discuss it in an art exam and have to do some drafts, did 5 different ones in each describing different geometrical patterns, shapes, spirals and the golden ratio, sure you get a "D", but every other one who just did a 1:1 copy (not a draft) got a "B" or better... The teacher was gay (really), I was the only male person in the class and I was always critecising him for his repetitive lectures. The page I made the first class literary described the next 10 "lessons"... Anyway not being in school anymore is soo good. Finally I can do whatever I want and learn whatever I like.

Phi is a unique number that represents a geometrical condition. When you say it is used here and there, it is hard to upscale it into a matrix of points on buildings without setting up other arbitrary rules about relational patterning, etc.... It is not necessarily the ultimate answer to everything, but is something to be aware of. I have heard of it being a result of consecutively generated reproduction units such as cells exhibiting that relationship.
