Recently we had been assigned a math project revolving around the “Golden Ratio”. I’ll just explain a little bit about the Golden Ratio. It is based of a rectangle with the dimensions of 1 by 1.618 but when you form a square with one part of the rectangle, the remaining piece of the rectangle ends up becoming a rectangleThe pattern keeps going on and on and on. This rectangle also follows the fibonacci sequence.
I had several ideas when I started of how I could implement the golden ratio into a project that would involve math, I decided to make an art piece that would involve a golden ratio as the main focal point of the 
piece. The art piece would involve math to plan out and design and I would have a piece of paper showing out my working of the math.
My sketch appeals to me as it has depth to it, when your eyes catch it at the right angle it almost seems like a tunnel or a funnel. I designed it this way and it also has a golden ration containing the overall spiral. If I look at the measurements for each circle in the design there is a pattern. With the first main circle 
the diameter equals 14cm, if I then times that by the arduous which equals 7cm and then do that for each circle it creates a pattern. Therefore it is equal to the golden ratio. Each measure meant after being divided equals up to around 1.6 so each measurement is equal to the golden ratio. This project was a bit of a struggle to me as I am not good at this type of math and it wasn’t as easily taught as it could’ve been. Below is the design with the Fibonacci sequence over it proving that the design is equal to the golden ratio, and all my math equations.
