Armatures

Under Construction: More to be added and annotated further. Visit my blog for detailed posts on the use of Dynamic Symmetry Armatures and Fibonacci Spirals for compositions over the ages.
Visit my blog: Dynamic Symmetry: A Mathematician Paints Perhaps begin with the post, Basic Dynamic Symmetry Armatures (including the Golden Spiral). Think of Armatures as blueprints or scaffoldings. They break up the space in harmonious sections, perhaps self-similar as with fractals. And they provide potential focal points and directional lines leading to the chosen focal points.
For now we are primarily concentrating on the Basic Dynamic Symmetry and the Golden Spiral Armatures.They could include in the future, Harmonic Armatures, Dynamic Symmetry Armatures with Rabatment and informal design methods of Andrew Loomis. I will continue to study various armatures.
