Patterns in Art and Nature
Thereare so many patterns repeated throughout nature. During this program that combines environmental science, art and math, students will search for patterns as they hike the surrounding landscape, learn about Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Rectangle, measure and recognize the golden ratios in the human body, and find out how nature uses amazing patterns for different reasons. These patterns then will form the basis for a nature printing workshop.
