the divine proportion

something is going on...first i start loving and understanding the logic of math. then i see pattern as the overarching principle of design for everything from nature and people to music and art. then my friend's husband (engineer) loans me a copy of "the divine proportion: a study in mathematical beauty" by h.e. huntley which is brilliant and absolutely transfixes me. that's only only after chapter one.

i want some time to think this summer. (as in someone calls and says "what are you up to?" and i say, "thinking".) and i have more than a feeling that time to read this book (small but pithy) will have a direct impact on what and how i teach art this year because it has everything to do with aesthetics.
