How to Draw the Golden

Spiral
3.  Arrange the squares. Draw each of these squares in a counter-clockwise pattern. It will
finally form a spiral as you draw a curve through the squares (as instructed later).
4
Turn the compass. Put your
compass, pivot point and
pencil, as shown in the
picture, with its length set at
one unit (side of the first
square) long. Turn it 90
degrees counter-clockwise
5
Adjust the compass. Adjust the compass so it
is now two units long. Again, turn it 90
degrees counter-clockwise. Then 3, then 5,
next 8 and continue this process until the
squares each have the curving spiral
through them.
6
Ink your spiral. Ink your drawing with pen when you are ready, carefully tracing
along the penciled curve. If you're shooting for exceptional accuracy, you can use
a French curve to help you.
7
Erase your guide
lines. With the spiral traced
in pen, use your eraser to
rub out the squares made in
pencil.

Done! Congratulations, you've just made the golden spiral!
