The Golden Mean - Proportion /7
Artists of all ages have used the Golden Section quite instinctively, as did the people in the experiment on P 2 (Lines) & P 3 (Rectangles) The proportion also appears in the human body and many living things. In the diagrams on this page, each pair of dimensions marked M m forms a Golden Proportion.
