About the Course

Geometry has long been used to understand and organise the world around us.

From the circle and square to proportional systems, geometric patterns and the Platonic solids, simple relationships can generate increasingly complex forms.

Throughout history, these relationships have been explored through mathematics, architecture, art and philosophy. During the medieval period, geometry formed part of the Seven Liberal Arts, alongside arithmetic, music and astronomy. During the Renaissance, renewed engagement with classical learning brought geometry into new relationships with artistic practice, architectural theory, mathematics and philosophy.

This course introduces the classical language of sacred geometry through these historical and intellectual traditions.

What You Will Learn

By the end of the course, you will have an understanding of:

• The historical development of sacred geometry

• The role of geometry within the Seven Liberal Arts

• The relationship between Arithmetic, Geometry, Music and Astronomy

• Fundamental geometric forms, proportions and constructions

• The role of geometry in medieval and Renaissance thought

• The relationship between geometry, architecture and art

• The philosophical ideas associated with number, proportion, harmony and order

• How geometric principles can be observed, constructed and interpreted

Most importantly, the course encourages you to look at geometry differently — not simply as a system of shapes and measurements, but as a language through which relationships, proportion and order can be explored.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is designed for anyone interested in the relationship between drawing, geometry, architecture, art, history and philosophy.
