From the Classical Greek Era to the present, artists have been using armature or grid systems based on musical and mathematical principles to help create harmonious paintings, including Dynamic Symmetry Grids, Harmonic Armatures and Golden Fibonacci Spirals or Whirling Squares. The armatures form a scaffolding for paintings, providing stability and a road map for the design.
Workshop participants will learn how to use armatures to design their paintings or to evaluate existing paintings. Examples of artwork will be analyzed..
* "Radical" is a play on words; it's the term Mathematicians use for 'root'; eg, square root. But in addition, radicals play a part in armatures.
