SYMMETRY AND PROPORTION

Nature is filled with examples of balance and symmetry. The human body is one such example of proportion in nature.

Perhaps our appreciation of the classical art and architecture of the Greeks and Romans is due partly to an appreciation, albeit unconscious, of dynamic symmetry.
