Radical Impressionist: A Mathematician Paints

In my opinion, I find using the 14 line armature of the rectangle easier to learn when it comes to analyzing art as well as applying it to a composition. For example, you can purchase any size canvas you want at your local art store and draw a 14 line armature to create a successful composition. ​The other significant difference between both design systems is that Dynamic Symmetry allows the artist to break down the mother rectangle into smaller versions of the original rectangle. The painting below by Conor Walton demonstrates the relationship between the 14 line armature and the root four (2) Dynamic Symmetry rectangle (2:1 ratio)." My Ana
