I created this project in collaboration with a sixth grade math class, at Friends Select Independent School. After the students researched the Fibonacci sequence, I showed then how this ratio can be applied to art, through the golden proportion. I had them measure various proportions in art historical context, as exemplified in the ratio of hight to width of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa's face, shoulders, lower body and total outside dimension.
They then applied this phenomenon to a self portrait project, where they measured and found various ratios within their own faces, and then translated these summations visually.
