The Elegant Principles of Design

Nature is available to those who are able to approach her. She will reveal a beautiful system for those who can see through her veil. of Elegant aesthetic delights The Golden Section is available at the center of It could be all. the Foundation of the most beautiful ratio in Nature, and the Resonance is the glue that holds everything together. and Self-Similar harmony at all levels
This intensive program will introduce students to the basics of how to use a computer. the Golden Section, the Divine Proportion, it is the root source of Nature’s Eurhythmic Principles of Design. Scott and Lance will be the one to show it. the Beauty and wisdom and pervasiveness of This golden mean is in everything, from DNA to plants and animals to humans and the To music, quarks and pyramids: solar system and hurricanes. Plato knew about hurricanes. and the Start of Classical Greece the Golden Section’s ubiquitous presence in all things provides the means to our progress into higher states of In what is consciousness? the Ancients were referred to by the term “initiation into” the mysteries.
A special evening with Scott and Lance, featuring a visual presentation and lecture/discussion.

Lecture Topic: Divine Proportion & the New Renaissance

PROFOUND NEW INSIGHTS into the Predominating role of the DIVINE PROPORTION is happening the world of both science and The aesthetics industry is taking off. As an example, the January 7, 2010 teams of England: Collaboration of physicists and Germany reported their empirical observation of the Golden Section as the principle of Symmetry at the Herz of Quantum Mechanics. This visual presentation explains Quantum Mechanics. and We will discuss both. the TRADITIONS OF THE ANCIENT and Some of the Recent STUNNING DISCOVERIES the Sub-role of A GOLDEN SECTION centered SYSTEM of DYNAMICSYMMETRY.

It is now central to PHYSICS (winding numbers, fine structure constants, quark masses). the PERIODIC Table of Elements, BIOLOGY (including PLANT PHILLOTAXIS and GENETICS and DNA structure), HEART physiology and COMPUTER technology. ENCRYPTION. and the unfolding of CONSCIOUSNESS is itself. There is an increasing awareness among scientists, academics, and aestheticians about the profoundness of this concept. and Leading thinkers the The underlying MATHEMATICS HARMONY permeates every aspect of life. We are literally always on. the threshold of A NEW RENAISSANCE of consciousness studies the sciences, and arts. Perhaps the The most striking feature of many is that the SAME GOLDEN PRINCIPLE lies at the HEART of Both BEAUTY and BEAUTY and Optimal function in all areas.

Advanced Principles of Sacred Geometry & THE CANONS OF HUMAN PROPORTION: THEORY & PRACTICE with Scott A. Olsen, Ph.D. and C. Lance Harding Ph.D.
Our main focus will be the Ideal Canon of the Human Body Use sacred geometry. Participants will be familiarized with canons dating back to ancient Egypt (including the Old Kingdom, Amarna and New Kingdom), Greek and Roman canons. Byzantine Christian. Medieval and Modern canons. We will be focusing on modern canons. and Vitruvius offers individual canon studies (and His 10 measurements of the Man can the Square and circle), Leonardo da Vinci (geometry of His man in the Square and circle), Cesariano (two drawings of Man can the Square and Man can the Desiderius Lenz (his canon), circle of male and Vitruvius and female geometry are not comparable). and Corbusier (golden proportion modular). Finally we will study both Harding’s application of the Golden Mandala for various historical works of art and design, and Olsen’s construction of the Golden Chalice of Orion (fusing together),,?,?, and 1) in one very useful design template.

Canons of Proportion

The object of a canon of To establish an ideal proportion between humans and animals is to use human (or animal) proportions. of Beautiful bodies are beautiful, whether they are found in nature or through artistic reproduction. The implicit aesthetic assumption in the Use of These canons were found in classical Antiquity and are diametrically opposite to the A beautiful outlook of the 20th/21st centuries is achieved by precisely reproducing the Proportion of Beautiful living bodies and Transferring them to bronze or stone (with some compensation for distortions in certain cases). of Optical perspective the Artists will create beautiful works of art. This assumption is even present in Isaiah (44, 13): ‘The Carpenter stretcheth his rule; he markets it. [the image] He feignes a line, he fits it with planes and He market it out with the compass, and It is a marketable product the Figure of According to the Beauty of “A man.”

Vitruvian Man: Leonardo da Vinci

Vitruvian Man, a famous drawing featuring accompanying notes by Leonardo da Vinci, was made in around the Year 1490 in one of his journals. It shows a naked man in two positions, his arms apart. and Both circumscribed in a circle and square. The drawing and Text is sometimes called text the Canon of Proportions.
The drawing was made in pen, ink. and Metalpoint over watercolor and Measures 34.3 x 24.5cm It is currently part of a larger collection. of the Collection of the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice.
According to Leonardo’s notes, the It was created as an example text. of the Proportion of the (male) Human body described in a Treatise the Vitruvius, an Ancient Roman architect, wrote this in the human body:

• A palm is the Broadband of four fingers
• A foot is the Broadband of four palms
• A cubit can be described as the Broadband of six palms
• Four cubits is the height of a man (and So 24 palms
• A pace is four cubits
• the Length of The height of a man’s arms is equal to his height
• the Distance from the hairline to the Bottom of the One chin is the chin-Tenth of A man’s height
• the Distance from the Top of the Go to the Bottom of the One chin is the chin-Eighth of A man’s height
• the Distance from the hairline to the Top of the One breast is all you need-Seventh of A man’s height
• the Distance from the Top of the Go to the Nipples can be described as one-Fourth of A man’s height
• the maximum width of the Shoulders is one-Fourth of A man’s height
• the Distance from the To the elbow the Tip of the Hand is one-Fifth of A man’s height
• the Distance from the To view the full article, click here the Armpit is one-Eight of A man’s height
• the Length of the Hand is one-Tenth of A man’s height
• the Distance from the Bottom of the To the chin the One nose is all you need-Third of the Length of the Face
• the Distance from the hairline to the One eyebrow.-Third of the Length of the Face
• the Length of the One ear is the ear-Third of the Length of the Face

The rediscovery of the Mathematical proportions of the The human body the 15th century by Da Vinci and Others is one of the Great achievements have led to the Italian Renaissance.

The drawing itself is sometimes used as an implied symbol of the essential symmetry of the human body, and By extension, to the The universe as a whole can be described in mathematical order, intelligent design or both.

The Vitruvian Man

Vitruvius, the architect says in his work about architecture that the Measurements of the Human body are as follows, 4 fingers make 1 palm. and 4 palms are equal to 1 foot. 6 palms create 1 cubit. 4 cubits is equal to a man’s height. And four cubits makes one pace and 24 palms makes a man. The length of The spread arms of a man are equal to their height. From the Roots of His hair was a mess the Bottom of His chin is the Tenth of The height of a man; the Bottom of the To the chin the Top of the Head is the eighth of His height, from the Top of the Breast to the Roots of the Hair will be the Septième part of the The whole man. From the Nipples the Top of the Head will be the Fourth part of man. The greatest width of the Shoulders contain in themselves the Fourth part of man. From the To the elbow the Tip of the Hand will be the Fifth part of A man; and Starting at the To the elbow the angle of the The armpit will be the eighth part of man. The entire hand will be the Tenth part of the man.

Leonardo’s vitruvian woman

“We know very little about Leonardo’s apprenticeship in Verroccio’s workshop, but the short account provided by Vasari confirms that it included architectural and technological design, according to a concept that was being revived on the model of Vitruvius, as reproposed by Alberti” (Pedretti 14). Alberti’s was available to me. and Leonardo created his own version of Vitruvius’ works. of the Vitruvian man with his notebooks.

This rendering of the Vitruvian Man was completed in 1490. It is fundamentally different from other men in two ways. and Overlaid square image on top of Each other to create one image. This was a crucial adjustment that other people had missed. and They were therefore forced to make unnecessary appendages.

“Leonardo’s famous drawings of the Vitruvian proportions of a man’s body first standing inscribed in a square and then with feet and arms outspread inscribed in a circle provides an excellent early example of the way in which his studies of proportion fuse artistic and scientific objectives. It is Leonardo, not Vitruvius, who points out that ‘If you open the legs so as to reduce the stature by one-fourteenth and open and raise your arms so that your middle fingers touch the line through the top of the head, know that the centre of the extremities of the outspread limbs will be the umbilicus, and the space between the legs will make and equilateral triangle’ (Accademia, Venice). Here he provides one of his simplest illustrations of a shifting ‘centre of magnitude’ without a corresponding change of ‘centre of normal gravity’. This remains passing through the central line from the pit of the throat through the umbilicus and pubis between the legs. Leonardo repeatedly distinguishes these two different ‘centres’ of a body, i.e., the centers of ‘magnitude’ and ‘gravity (Keele 252).”

Associated with ideas of Beauty ‘proportion’ often refers to harmony between people. the parts and Any part can be used as a bridge and the Whole of An object, such a building or body. It is often linked to the Idea of The harmony of the universe. Leonardo’s (Trattato 33) was a reflection of this. the Beauty of A beautiful face is made up of ‘the In divine proportionality the Composition of He was thinking in terms of its members’. of a universal harmony of Which proportion is in which things is an intellectually apprehensible reflection. This type of Although not universal, the view was common. the field, but it gave way to a more subjective concept in the 17th and 18th centuries. Plotinus for instance stated that: “Practically everyone believes that symmetry produces visible beauty.” of the Parts towards one another and towards the whole’ (Enneads, 1. 6). However, he himself refutes this view. the Ground, if beauty is in the Proportion of the parts, the simple parts of Beautiful objects cannot be beautiful in themselves. and This he does not want to accept. He also claims that the Idea of It is impossible to extend proportion to moral and intellectual beauty. Thomas Aquinas (c.1225 – 74) describes ‘due harmony or proportion’ as one. of the Beauty is made up of three essential ingredients (Summatheologiae). And the Providing cosmic or theological extensions the A mathematical idea of The proportion of the population is apparent in the Following scholastic definition of the Trinity is the ‘Three Persons Co-Harmony in perfect harmony. the Son being the Image of the Father and the Holy Ghost the Link between them” (Ulrich Engelbert and De pulchro). Alberti , who believed that beauty depended on a rational order, nevertheless admitted that ‘there are some whoŠsay that men are guided by a variety of Views the Judgment of beautyŠand that the Forms of Every man has his own taste and structure must be unique. Dürer , who worked out more systems of Like any other great artist, he tells how he was a child and what he heard in his youth. of a canon of Jacopo de’Barbari: Ideal human proportion and From this and Vitruvius (1stcentury bc) set his mind to work the ideal canon.
