My drawing : Fibonachi and role he played in my life

Hello dear Steemians,

Today I would like to share with you one of the greatest event in my life when I was a child that changed my life and helped me throughout my school years.

You probably will wonder what it has to do with my drawing. But this the main hero of my story. May be some of you recall this face as it is only drawing exist of Leonardo Fibonachi, an Italian mathematician from the Republic of Pisa, some of you may be heard Fibonachi numbers or sequence too. So first of all here is my drawing that I did with Sanguine and Sepia, I just like those colors, as there is no real photograph then I had to use a drawing to my drawing, sorry if it looks not very good.

Here my process:

I recalled him then many years later when my son went to school and of course, I wanted him to understand everything from beginning and to make it easier for later. I din't like to push and press hard I wanted him to get an interest in Maths and want to discover more and more himself. So I recalled myself and decided to use the same method. I told him about Fibonachi and his numbers, showed him how the sequence works, how to find the next number. One thing I love the most is to draw a Fibonachi spiral, that you can do easily need just draw a square with the Fibonachi numbers and connect the opposite angles. you can do it so long that you spiral looks very beautiful and almost endless. Here is for your attention my teacher card that I still keep in my drawer, I know my spiral is not ideal but everyone can do his own and you can't imagine how much fun we had:

The next things we did was we looked through the presence of these numbers in nature: petal of flowers, of course very loved sunflower seed, that build up spiral and of course we look for a snail house in summer to make sure that it also has a Fibonachi spiral:

But also funny thing is because nobody know what is the birthday date Fibonachi has, his fans celebrating his birthday on November 23 (mm/dd) the digits in the date form a Fibonacci sequence: 1,1,2,3.

Now few years gone since the time when I was teaching my son, now being teenage he is absolute fan of Maths and of course, he is much better then me, I am proud of that.

I can say I am grateful Fibonachi for this discover and I think he would be very proud to know that even nowadays he is still teaching the people the basics of Maths.
