Fractals and Golden Ratio in design.

introduction

Design  is a plan or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of a building, garment, or other object before it is made.

Math is the study of numbers, shapes, and space using reason and usually a special system of symbols and rules for organizing them.

Maths and design seem to be very different topics, but could they be linked?

This webquest will help you to answer this question.

Task 

- In this webquest you will:

- explore what are the golden ratio and the fractals

- you will work in groups and follow the instructions on the process page

- you will follow the links provided to the appropriate websites and pages

- you will create and present your own design based on mathemathics special themes

Process

Task 1 

Split in four groups of 4 or 5 persons and choose a number 1,2,3 or 4 for your group.

Group 1 watch this video and answer the questions. Then will click on the link and give a short definition of the Golden Ratio 

Group 2 watch this video and answer the questions. Then will click on the link and find examples of use of the Golden Ratio in different kinds of design

Group 3 will click on the link and give a short definition of the Fractals

Group 4 will click on the link and find examples of use of the Fractals in nature

Task 2

Each group has to prepare a presentation of his research for the other groups.

Task 3

Group 1 and 4 will create a dress which respects the golden proportions and have a design based on fractals.

Group 2 and 3 will create a logo which respects the golden ratio and have a design based on fractals.
