The Golden Code of Life: A Wondrous Journey from Mathematical Proportions to Painting Composition

Abstract

From the perspective of a high school student, this paper explores the intrinsic connection between the golden ratio in mathematics and the composition of paintings. By analyzing famous artwork cases, campus practice records, and artistic creation experiments, the paper transforms the abstract mathematical formula φ=1.618 into an intuitive visual composition tool, elucidating the application methods and aesthetic value of the golden ratio in artistic creation. The study demonstrates that understanding the golden ratio not only enhances the sense of harmony in painting composition but also fosters interdisciplinary thinking skills in students, enabling mutual inspiration and reinforcement between mathematical learning and artistic creation.
