Art Fractals
by Alisson Suito
This lesson is based on the Fibonacci sequence. Overlapping concepts of pattern, repetition, structure, scale, proportions are considerations for constructing an artistic, math-based sculpture.
Objectives:
Engineer a successful structure that repeats a sequence present in the natural world (or geometry or algebra).
Calculate the correct proportional increase of the pattern.
Evaluate and select effective materials for a purpose.
Demonstrate artistic and technical skills when problem solving.
Present the project to your audience.
