Chapter 9: The Fibonnacci Sequence and Golden Section

Design Exercises Based on the Fibonnacci Sequence using patterned paper


(1) Patterned papers graded into a tonal column based on the Fibonnacci series of proportions:


(2) Above design cut at right angles and arranged in alternate way based on the Fibonnacci sequence.




(3) Above design divided at right angles and cut into Fibonnacci strips placed with a gap between each strip and glued down.


(4) Fibonnacci strips arranged on plain black background leaving gaps of the Fibonnacci series of proportions:



(5) Flipped alternate strips to make the following design [this was my favourite design!]:


(7) Another Fibonnacci block prepared for the next set of blocks [2 copies created]:


(8) Strips from above arrangement cut into strips and arranged in a  square design, leaving a small gap between central strips:


(9) Srtips from #7 above arranged into a log cabin patchwork block.

(10) Strips cut diagonally and arranged into an alternating pattern becoming narrower as it progressed:


(11) As above but from a different angle:




The Golden Section


(12) Sketch of the Golden Section. I enjoyed creating this as it helped me understand the theory!

(13) Golden Section created using tonal patterned papers:



(14) A small variation on the Golden Section which emphasizes the diagonal line in each square, illustrating the spiral effect more clearly:
