Livio: An Analysis Of The Golden Ratio Livio

Show More
Introduction The “golden” number, 1.61803399, is known as the golden ratio (Livio). Artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Raphael used the golden ratio in many of their most famous artworks. How did the golden ratio increase the popularity of their artworks? The golden ratio seen in artworks is thought to be more appealing and pleasing to an audience because the geometric proportions are easy for the eyes to scan. The eye is able to scan an image the fastest when it is shaped as a golden ratio rectangle (Livio). For this Internal Assessment, the data collected from the number of Google Search hits of ten chosen artworks over a week, from two artists will be analyzed and compared to the golden ratio (size and area of the rectangles), and to …show more content…
I have calculated and studied the golden ratio over a week for the following artworks: The Vitruvian Man: Man in Action (Leonardo Da Vinci, 1490), Mona Lisa (Leonardo Da Vinci, 1517), and The Mond Crucifixion (Raphael, 1503). With the data I have collected a number of mathematical processes will be used to analyze the data: a chart displaying the raw data collected over a week of the number of hits on Google Search engine (two searches will be compared) for each artwork, a bar graph displaying and comparing the number of hits on Google for each artwork, calculations of the size of the rectangles (ratios) of the portrait used in the golden ratios of each artwork. I will also calculate the means of each artwork over a week. I hypothesize that the Mona Lisa, will have the highest number of hits on Google, and the highest level of popularity, because it is the most written about artwork of the three chosen artworks. Also, when typing into a search engine, there is a big difference between The Mona Lisa and Mona Lisa. For each artwork I will be typing both versions and compare the number of hits on Google Search Engine. (Mona Lisa vs. The Mona

    Leonardo Da Vinci Last Supper Painting

    Analyzing Art Work by Different Artists from Different Periods Art is very important to people especially when it represents spirituality. It adds a strong connection between the artist and the viewers on something they both agree on. Art in the early Renaissance was mostly about spirituality, but as time passes by, artists paid less attention to spirituality, and they started adding other themes to art. I intend to show that The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, represents the scene of The Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples. Da Vinci has depicted the horror in the 12 disciples’ faces when Jesus announced that one of them would betray him.…

    Analysis Of Frank Stella's Flin Flon VIII

    I was drawn to this painting due to its simplistic design and vibrant colors that forces the viewer to keep looking. The painting attracted my attention and every time I looked at it, I felt as if I found something new about it every time. As I continued to examine the painting its complexity continued to grow with every minute that I looked at it. Also, the size of the painting was large compared to the others in the gallery immediately making me feel that the painting had more significance and prestige than the others around it. The combination of the designs, the color and the size, overall made this painting an obvious choice for my research paper.…

    Similarities And Similarities Between Italian And Renaissance Art

    The religious scenes became more realistic and proportioned. The anatomy of the people within the paintings and sculptures of Italian Renaissance work appear scientifically correct and the scenes of the paintings have depth. Italian Renaissance artists used linear or one-point perspective to render proportioned work. An example is Holy Trinity and Tribute Money by Masaccio. In Masaccio’s work, there are vanishing points, orthogonals, a horizon lines, and foreshortening and atmosphere perspective used to give the viewer a realistic idea of the…

    One of my phrases has to be a picture is worth thousand words. Attending the De Young Museum was phenomenal experience because of the artwork that they showcased ranging from the South America all the way to Africa which shows how diverse they were. However, two images that caught my attention was the Our Lady, Refuge of Sinners and the Savages of the Pacific Ocean. They both contained similarities when it came to the time period known as the neo-classicism while also differences when it comes to the meaning behind the images, and the techniques that the artists used. Even though there were more differences than similarities among the images they both were unique in their own ways.…

The two pieces that stood out to me at Willards Art Center in Idaho Falls Idaho were Elise Wilding's tree painting and Bernadette Regnier's flower painting. Both artists, Wilding and Regnier, use the medium of paint to create their beautiful art. While they both use the same medium in their art, they have do have different styles. Wilding uses an expressionism style in her art to connect with her viewer, whereas Regnier uses impressionism in her painting.…

    Giacometti Standing Woman Analysis

    Drawing focuses on a 2-dimensional surface. The sculptors drew 2-dimensional versions of their sculptures as a plan to create the work, as clarification of their work. They have drawn to the three aspects to “Seeing”: visual perception - the ability of the brain to accurately judge the shapes, relationships and proportions evident in the data that our eyes take in, visualising - our ability to recognise and organise the ‘drawing potential” of a subject, visual literacy -the ability to read and interpret the marks of the drawing itself. Giacometti’s perceptual drawing is almost an exact depiction of his sculpture, utilising line to create tone, thus transforming the image from 2-dimensional to 3-dimensional. Giacometti’s and Goldsworthy’s sculptures are very distinctive, but their drawings are very similar.…

    This elementary observation argues against one of Green’s main points as to why he believes the Renaissance never occurred; “95 percent of Europeans did not encounter the Renaissance” (Green). In broader terms, the Renaissance artist Ghiberti coupled science or mathematics with art in order to communicate and touch his audience in a different way—something that had never been done before the Renaissance…

    Essay On Ways Of Seeing By John Berger

    The value of art is based on how many people believe that it is worthy. So, with just the originals, very few people are given the chance to view a work of art. On top of that, people would not have seen the artists other works to know their credibility. Reproduction is the key to getting more people to acknowledge the time and effort that it takes to create a masterpiece. This is how reproductions boosts the value of art and opposes Berger’s…
