The objective today was to identify and consider the 'Golden Ratio'. In maths and the arts, this refers the innately aesthetically pleasing divide of an object or image equating to approximately 1.6. We simultaneously attempted to reframe our view, closing in on the still life to draw in parts of objects and adding a dimension of abstractness (I'm a natural at this...) to the painting. Coupling the two tasks was difficult, and I'd already drawn the image by the time instruction was laid out; the end result, what you perhaps might call a 'Bronze' Ratio, portions of a pot and an apple, and an oversized melon smack in the centre of the foreground. Getting there.
