From Fibonacci Curved Kites to Our Own Mathematical Art Piece
From Fibonacci Curved Kites to Our Own Mathematical Art Piece Medha Sharma, Joshua Kanaganayagam, Helen Chen For our project, we chose Gauthier Cerf’s Curved Kite Fibonacci Spiral . We chose this piece because it showed us a different way of visualizing the Fibonacci sequence. We were familiar with the usual Fibonacci squares and the resulting spiral, but Cerf’s work showed us how the Fibonacci sequence could be used to make various other geometric constructions while still creating a beautiful art piece. This combination of math and art made us curious about how it was constructed and how we might use the same underlying ideas to make our own artistic design. Reverse Engineering the Original Artwork Before creating our own piece, we first tried to understand the math behind Cerf’s curved kite. Each curved kite was constructed from circular arcs, and an interesting property we discovered was the relationship between its dimensions and area. Understanding how these individua...
