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.

For hundreds of years, people have harnessed moving air (wind) to do work. The earliest forms of wind-powered machines were sailboats. Wind pushing against the sails of a boat provided the energy to
