The Golden Ratio
The golden ratio is a mathematical ratio that appears many times in mathematics, nature, art, architecture, and other areas. The ratio is strongly associated with the Fibonacci sequence, a long ordered list of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers.
During the workshop we will discover the mathematics behind the golden ratio, the Fibonacci numbers, and their relationship to each other. We will play Fibonacci numbers related rhythms, listen to music, and on the top of all those you can make your own Fibonacci inspired art and write your own ’Fib’.
