The Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Mean in Art

Abstract: A 6 page paper discussing the history and development of the Fibonacci sequence; the development of associated ratios; and their applicability to visual images. Fibonacci published his sequence in 1202, and da Vinci used the concept of "thirds" in much of his work as did some other artists of the period. The paper provides the mathematical basis as well as illustration. da Vinci's "The Annunciation" is used for example purposes. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
