Brief Intro to the topic and instructor, declaration of course objectives, a little game, list of materials needed for the course.
We live in boxes! What if we didn't? This section is about changing our perspective
Divide the circle by hand using a compass to create six- and twelve-segment patterns, forming a daisy-like hexagonal design, while exploring color mixing and geometric art to expand mathematical understanding.
Explore how tetrahedron, cube, and octahedron relate as duals, with 3-4-5 patterns and star tetrahedron structures, linking geometry to architecture, chemistry, and art through hands-on drawing and visualization.
Apply the Pythagorean theorem to specific geometries, using sine relationships, 30° and 60° angles, and diamond and square configurations to solve for x with a radius of one.
Explore how the cosine half-angle theorem reveals geometric patterns in sound and light, from plates and nodes to interference patterns in acoustic spaces.
Explore the Fibonacci sequence and its geometric patterns—from sine and polar graphs to six-point daisy and four-point clover shapes—then see spirals drawn with a compass modeling planetary formation.
Explore how the spiral appears across nature, biology, symbolism, and ancient architecture, revealing how spiral patterns encode growth, energy, and mathematical relationships.
Explore Stonehenge and Karnak, tracing sunrise alignments with solstices and equinoxes to latitude angles around 51.5 degrees and one seventh of a circle, echoing the Great Pyramid.
Explore how seven, eight, and nine pointed stars relate to human form, da Vinci's figures, and mystic symbols, tracing angles, heart chakra, third eye, and the infinity motif.
Explore nine point geometry and the mysterious relations between angles, the golden ratio, and cosine values, revealing patterns in the nine point star and related figures.
Why do we have to study mathematics? This four part series has you look at some aspects of daily life that not only are mathematical but part of a series of 'harmonies'. Very 'hands-on', as part of the process you will be invited to make beautiful geometric art, learning mathematically, artistically and experientially while making connections between both sides of your brain, and through your head, heart and hands!
So just what is Sacred Geometry? An incredibly deep well of material that can't be answered quickly. Best is to go find some classic piece of architecture, like a cathedral, capitol building; something more than a hundred years old. Look at it from the outside, its balance and symmetry. Go inside and look up at the spacious walls and the intricate nature of the roof. Best is to listen to song and sound within it, and see the interplay of light. Going inside is your first introduction to the topic.
In this class you will make drawings of complex geometry, and hopefully color them. This of itself can be really fun, and meditative. But more as you work through them you are seeing the interaction of basic numbers in a visual reference.
Further, we will look at mathematical processes we all learned in high-school and tried to forget as quickly as possible! But using them, we will perform research, looking for patterns in the chaos and finding that there is incredible MIND involved here.
This is what makes Geometry Sacred. Come and give it a try. This IS the math you should have learned in school. Real Math.
