The Landscape Painter's ace in the hole!<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
I shared this with my class and thought you all may enjoy it. Understanding and using aerial/atmospheric perspective is an essential tool in the landscape painters toolbox.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Aerial or atmospheric interference with visual perception causes loss of contrast, detail and sharp focus. The effect, which Leonardo called "the perspective of disappearance," tends to make objects seem to take on a blue-gray middle value as they increase in dista<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">nce. This effect is used by film makers to give the illusion of great depth, but can be used to great effect by painters and draftsmen. The illustration above shows loss of color saturation, contrast, and detail as the cubes fall further away from the viewer. Here is a list of attributes that objects have as they recede in space:</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline;">
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
SIZE OF OBJECTS-smaller objects seem farther away (distortions can occur if objects are the same size or too close to the viewer).</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
OVERLAPPING OR SUPERIMPOSING-by partially covering one object with another it gives an appearance of depth (distortions also occur if viewer is too close).</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
TEXTURE-density increases as an object gets further away.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
SPACING-objects clustered closer together seem farther away. Horizontal lines which get closer as they near the horizon line appear to be defining a recession in space.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
FOCUS-objects lose detail as they recede into space.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
BRIGHTNESS-objects are brighter when closer to the viewer, except for reflective surfaces.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
SHADE AND SHADOW-darker shadows seem closer especially if overlapping other shadows.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
UPWARD ANGULAR LOCATION-creates depth if juxtaposed to ground and sky lines, e.g. tall buildings.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
COLOR-color intensity is much greater closer to the viewer and tends toward medium gray as it recedes.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Hint: As objects recede away from the viewer in atmospheric perspective, bright whites and rich blacks tend toward medium gray and eventually disappear into a blue/gray background. Even colors have greater intensity closer to a viewer than they do further away.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

My "How Great Thou ART" class is painting this painting this Friday evening for our painting lesson. The inspiration comes from Jesus' words in Matthew... "You are the salt of the earth" and "You are the light of the world." Within the past two hours, I have had two pastors, one in Northern California and one in Winchester, Virginia, contact me to ask permission to use it as a visual for their upcoming sermons this Sunday... of course I said yes. I painted this several years ago... the story gets better...

<span class="fbPhotoCaptionText">I had a relaxing time painting "en plein air" in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains while on vacation at Fleetwood Falls, NC. I made many new friends and spent time with some old dear ones. The highlight of my painting adventures was painting with <strong><em><a href="http://www.jeremysams.com/" target="_blank">Jeremy Sams</a></em></strong> and <a href="http://www.scottboyleart.com/" target="_blank"><strong><em>Scott Boyle</em></strong></a> along the New River near Todd, NC. The crowning jewel was spending the day (August 9th) with some of the best NC plein air artists at the Sweetgrass Paint Out near Blowing Rock, NC. I painted with dear friends, <strong><em><a href="http://www.jeremysams.com/" target="_blank">Jeremy Sams</a></em></strong> and <strong><em><a href="http://brendabehr.com/" target="_blank">Brenda Behr</a></em></strong> in a meadow with an awesome view of Grandfather Mountain. We dodged the showers as best we could but it was well worth it!</span><br />

<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">July 1st through 3rd of every year our country commemorates the anniversary of the epic Battle of Gettysburg, often referred to as the turning point of America's Civil War. Thousands of people will converge on the small Pennsylvania town once again, not to do battle, but to remember. Lincoln put it best when he said, "The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here". </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">The anniversary embodies many special events, highlighted by reenactors clashing in battle reenactments of familiar names like; The Railroad Cut, The Wheat Field, The Peach Orchard, Devil's Den, The Bloody Angle, Little Round Top, Cemetery Hill to name a few. All done not to glorify war but to remember history and honor the men who fought and died.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">This story is about the men of Onslow County, Company H of the 55th North Carolina Infantry in particular, who where there over 150 years ago to witness the historic event first hand.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">The company, known as the "Alexander Boys," was raised mainly in Alexander and Onslow counties in March - April, 1862. It was mustered into Confederate service at Camp Mangum, near Raleigh, on May 31, 1862, and assigned to the 55th Regiment N.C. Troops as Company H.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">The 55th NC, commanded by Colonel John K. Connally, was assigned to General Joseph R. Davis' Brigade (the nephew of Confederate President Jefferson Davis) in the spring of 1863 where it remained until January of 1865. During the Gettysburg Campaign, Davis' Brigade consisted of the 2nd, 11th, and 42nd Mississippi regiments, along with the 55th NC and was part of Henry Heth's Division, A.P. Hill's III Corps, in Robert E. Lee's famed Army of Northern Virginia.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">Heth's Division is given credit for starting the battle of Gettysburg. Heth wanted to procure some shoes for his barefoot troops and had heard there was a large supply in the town. Initially thinking Union General John Buford's cavalry was only Pennsylvania militia, he continued to push towards Gettysburg. Ironically the South entered town that day from the north and the North entered from the south. More and more troops from both sides were drawn to the sounds of fighting and on July 1, 1863 the great battle had begun.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">The 55th NC formed the extreme left of Davis' Brigade, and owing to the nature of the ground was the first regiment to come into view of the enemy, and received the first fire in the battle. A volley from the 56th Pennsylvania Regiment of Cutler's Brigade. From the beginning, the fighting was fierce and as the regiment advanced, Colonel Connally seized the battle flag from a fallen soldier and rushed several paces in front of the regiment where he fell badly wounded in the arm and hip. Major Belo rushed up and asked him if he was badly wounded. Colonel Connally replied: "Yes, but pay no attention to me; take the colors and keep ahead of the Mississippians."</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">After driving Cutler's Brigade, Davis' units took shelter in an unfinished railroad cut to regroup. The "shelter" turned out to be a death trap because along much of its length, the walls of the cut were to deep for men to fire out of. The 6th Wisconsin and the Iron Brigade Guard, about 450 men total, took advantage of the situation and charged the cut, killing and wounding hundreds, and taking 232 of the brigade prisoner.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">Onslow County was there --- John S. Meadows was killed in action; Abraham T. Autaway was wounded in the face, captured, and died in a Gettysburg hospital; Michael Rawls and Thomas Simpson, Jr. were captured and sent to Point Lookout --- to mention a few. Thomas' brother, Curtis Simpson, was furloughed home sick and missed the battle. (Curtis' son, the late Walter Caden Simpson --- 1894-2000, resided in Onslow County in the Back Swamp district. He was Camp 1302's "Real Son").</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Garamond12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">The 55th NC including Company H, suffered dearly on the first day's battle. The battle that would swell into a terrible three-day struggle, one in which 160,000 Americans would contest for supremacy within 25 square miles of ground and carve into history the greatest battle on American soil resulting in over 50,000 casualties. Day one wasn't the end for the "Alexander Boys" --- they still had to make one more grand charge!</span></div>

<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">The Tar Heels of the Old North State, including over 1300 men from Onslow County, have earned their page in history with their deeds of valor, contributions, and dedication to the Confederate Cause of 1861 - 1865. Often North Carolina wasn't given the respect due to her for such contributions and found herself defending her soldier's good name. Too many times other states got the glory and promotions while North Carolina did the work and was content with the simple attribute of duty. North Carolina was considered by her people as, "The valley of humility between the two pinnacles of conceit", referring to the hot-tempered South Carolinians who started the war and the illustrious lineage of the Virginians. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">North Carolina boasts a motto that no other state can revel; "First at Bethel, farthest at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, and last at Appomattox." A motto worthy of respect for all Confederate Tar Heels and one that, in part, was earned by a company of infantry consisting of men from Onslow and Alexander counties.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">Longstreet's Assault on July 3, 1863 at Gettysburg, or what is generally but very incorrectly known as "Pickett's Charge," has not only had its proper place in books about the war, but has furnished a subject for more speeches, historical essays, paintings and poems than any other event which ever occurred in America. Many writings have led their readers to falsely think that Pickett's Virginians were the only ones in the grand charge. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">Company H, nicknamed "The Alexander Boys," of the 55th North Carolina Troops were there. As the Alexander and Onslow boys crouched in the McMillan Woods they waited for the furious two-hour bombardment by some 150 Confederate cannons to cease. Their attack would then commence, and little did they know that the turning point of the war and their cause was at hand. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">Company H stepped out of the woods atop Seminary Ridge and, with forty-one other Confederate regiments, formed ranks for the assault; eighteen regiments and one battalion from Virginia, fifteen regiments from North Carolina, three from Mississippi, three more from Tennessee, and one regiment and one battalion from Alabama. Before them, clearly unveiled as a breeze blew the smoke away, lay 1,300 yards of coverless ground and the bristling Federal lines beyond.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">General Lee requested his "Old War-horse," General James Longstreet, to command the assault even though Pickett's fresh division was the only one from his I Corps. The other two divisions were from A. P. Hill's III Corps. Henry Heth's division was commanded by Johnston Pettigrew. Heth was wounded on the first day which would have been fatal if it were not for a few folded papers he stuffed in his hat. Upon the mortal wounding of Dorsey Pender, his division was now commanded by Isaac Trimble. Both divisions were heavily engaged during the first day's battle and suffered severely. The 55th NC was commanded by Captain George Gilreath upon the killing and wounding of all its' field officers on the first day's fight. Company H was commanded by Captain Edward Satterfield with many of the regiments' companies led by non-commissioned officers.</span></div>

<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">Major General George Pickett's Virginians took up position on the right of Pettigrew with Trimble in support of Pettigrew. The command to commence the assault was given to Pickett by a reluctant Longstreet and the grand charge had begun. Pettigrew dispatched Col. James Marshal, "Now Colonel, for the honor of the Old North State, Forward" and the Tar Heels stepped off. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">Preceded by a line of skirmishers and "colors flying in the breeze," Pickett's and Pettigrew's men moved "in perfect order as if on dress parade" towards the Emmitsburg Road. Under severe fire from artillery and musketry the southern lines began to give way. Brockenborough's Virginia brigade was soon shattered which left Davis' brigade, which included the 55th NC, exposed on the far left where they were flanked by the Union 8th Ohio. Franklin Sawyer of the 8th Ohio Volunteers later wrote; "Changing our front, the men were ordered to fire into their left flank at will. The distinct graceful lines were at once enveloped in a dense smoke and dust. Arms, heads, blankets, guns and knapsacks were thrown and tossed in the air. A moan went up from the field, distinctly to be heard amid the storm of battle, but on they went, more like a cloud of moving smoke and dust than a column of troops."</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">The casualties of the charge were horrendous for every southern regiment involved. However, if the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava in which it lost thirty-five percent has rendered it famous, why should not the Charge of Davis' brigade in which it lost sixty percent render it equally famous? The casualties for the 55th NC were 74 men killed or mortally wounded (of whom 27 died in the hands of the enemy), 76 wounded, 263 captured (of whom 107 were wounded), and two missing --- a total of 415 including many men from Onslow. The 55th as a regiment rivaled in casualties, the three brigades of Pickett's division who averaged 455 each.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">The ocean of men in butternut and gray that flowed forward that summer's afternoon 150 years ago, created the "high-water mark" to which the tide of Southern success rose, and from which, it painfully ebbed away. General Lewis Armistead, (born in New Bern, N.C.), of Pickett's division, with about 150 men crossed the Union lines at an angle in a stonewall where he was mortally wounded 40 yards therein. The portion of the Union line assaulted by the 55th NC was a stonewall 80 yards farther in distance. Captain Satterfield of Company H, fell dead nine yards from that portion of the line. Allowing for the thickness of the wall, Captain Satterfield, company commander of Onslow County soldiers, fell 31 yards beyond Armistead and is responsible for North Carolina's motto: "Farthest at Gettysburg." </span><span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="TimesRoman12" style="font-family: Times New Roman, adobe-times, Times; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">It should be noted that one Confederate soldier in every four who fell at Gettysburg was a North Carolinian.</span> </span> </div>

I love to study old and new masters of art. As an art instructor, I teach their techniques and styles to my students to help them gain a better understanding of fine art and develop technical skill. Often I will cover old masters' paintings (but usually change it up a bit) to learn something from them myself. I varied this <a href="http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/bio/r/ruysdael/jacob/biograph.html" target="_blank">Jacob van Ruisdael</a> painting <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/110002002" target="_blank">"Wheat Fields"</a> as a cloud study. <a href="http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/bio/r/ruysdael/jacob/biograph.html" target="_blank">Jacob van Ruisdael</a> (1628-1682) is one of my favorite Dutch landscape painters from the17th century. <br />
<br />
I started this as an old masters painting demo for my 5th grade art classes at <a href="http://carolinaforest.nc.oce.schoolinsites.com/" target="_blank">Carolina Forest International Elementary</a> when I was filling in for the art teacher while she was on maternity leave. While in between spring and summer semesters at ECU... I finally got a chance to finish it yesterday. Here is my cover of van Ruisdael's "Wheat Fields."<br />

"Father of Impressionism," Claude Monet. Artist/instructor, Bernie
Rosage Jr., will dress in circa 1880 attire and give an interactive living
history program as he portrays a middle aged Claude Monet. He will share art
history from the Impressionist Art Movement and talk about Claude Monet's
contributions and unique painting style. This workshop is more than a living
history program, the main focus is painting in the style of Impressionism.
Bernie (aka Monet) will teach students the impressionistic style as they paint
a finished painting in the style made famous by Monet. The workshop is designed
for beginning and intermediate artists using the mediums of oils and/or
acrylics. Bernie’s step-by-step approach and individual attention makes this
workshop perfect for beginning artists but challenging enough for
intermediates. This unique workshop allows the students to witness art history
through one of the art world's most important figures plus paint in the style
of one of the world's most influential art movements... Impressionism!</span></i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hope you enjoy it...</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN"></span><br />
<span lang="EN">Art since the early Renaissance times has included mathematics, especially geometry, in creating the most pleasing compositions for drawings, paintings, and architecture. As an artist, I still use these methods today to create interesting compositions that hold a viewer’s interest and put emphasis on the focal point of the work. Two main examples are the use of the “Rule of Thirds” and the “Golden Mean.”<br />
<br />
The “Rule of Thirds” simply divides the canvas into thirds with a “Tic, Tac, Toe” type grid. The four points where the lines intersect naturally create the points of the most interest on the canvas. The artist situates his or her focal point on or near one of these points to create a pleasing composition.<br />

The “Golden Mean” or “Golden Ratio” is another mathematical way artists use to set up engaging compositions. The “Golden Mean” is based on the mathematical sequence discovered by mathematician, Leonardo Pisano Bogollo, who lived between 1170 and 1250 in Italy. "Fibonacci" was his nickname, which roughly means "Son of Bonacci".<br />
<br />
As well as being famous for the Fibonacci Sequence, he helped spread through Europe the use of Hindu-Arabic Numeral (like our present number system 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) to replace Roman Numerals (I, II, III, IV, V, etc). <br />
<br />
By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. In mathematical terms, the sequence <i>F<sub>n</sub></i><sub></sub> of Fibonacci numbers is defined by the recurrence relation and can be written as a rule mathematically: </span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;"></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;"><div align="CENTER">
x<sub>n</sub> = x<sub>n-1</sub> + x<sub>n-2</sub> </div>

The Fibonacci sequence is a consistent and infinite sequence that is found in nature. Here is a surprise. If you take any two successive <i>(one after the other)</i> Fibonacci Numbers, their ratio is very close to the Golden Ratio "</span><b><span style="font-family: Arial;">φ</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">" which is approximately <b>1.618034...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>
</b>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Recent studies have linked the Fibonacci sequence follows the patterns in nature, uniting math, science, and nature design. For example, sunflowers often have precisely 55, 89, or 144 petals, numbers that figure in the famous Fibonacci sequence. Nature, it seems, has certain mathematical underpinnings.<br />
</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Researchers have even dubbed the sequence as the fingerprint of God.

Artists... Bernie Rosage Jr., Stephen Greer, Mitchell Morton and Janet Nickle had the honor of working with over 40 of the best high school artists in Onslow County. We gave a "painting from life" workshop in four different 1 hour 45 minute "break out" sessions. The event is called "All County Arts" and brings together the best artists from each high school in the county for a weekend of collaboration and workshops to celebrate these young artists and promote the arts in our community. The event is headed up by Janae Copeland, Education Coordinator for Arts in the Onslow County Schools, and all the Onslow County high school art teachers. They did a GREAT job in organizing this event which is in its fourth year.
