Geometry is an exploration of truth, the kind that is self-evident and universal. Where there is universal truth, there is also great beauty and from this a feeling of sacredness naturally arises. In this class you will learn everything you need to draw and experience the sacredness of geometry.You can draw in this class using a pencil, paper, compass, straightedge (aka ruler) and/or using a free iOS app. In this course, I use Euclidea: Sketches, a 100% free iOS app, for the practical reason that it is far clearer to observe what I'm doing viewing my recorded iPad Pro screen than filming my drawing board.To follow along with this course, you are welcome to use this app (or use another computer-aided drafting program), or draw by hand using the time-tested instruments of pencil, paper, compass and straightedge.The following books are mentioned in the course; they're not required reading, but these are great books. If you end up loving geometry, you'll might want to eventually read some or all of these:Drawing Geometry by Jon Allen ISBN 9780863156083
Ruler & Compass by Andrew Sutton ISBN 9780802717764
Sacred Geometry by Robert Lawlor ISBN 9780500810309
City of Revelation by John Michell ISBN 9780345236074
Euclid's Elements (first published circa 300 BCE, ISBN 9781375462631)

Essentials 11 lectures 37:29 Organizing sketches with tags Creating, assigning, deleting and restoring tags. Sketches can have multiple tags. Deleting a tag does not delete sketches. How to create new sketches and return to the dashboard. Sketch management tips Here you learn how to create, delete and rename files. The temporary buffer is also covered. You don't necessarily need names to save files in the mobile app, unlike desktop applications. Bisecting line segments In this video we bisect a line using the traditional technique of drawing circles at each endpoint and constructing the vesica piscis form. We also learn to use specialized tools in the app that bisect by adding a point or a perpendicular line. We also learn drawing navigation with the hand tool. Controlling drawing element appearance Using the artist palette mode we learn how to change the colors, line thicknesses and line patterns. We are able to affect line, circles and points. Bisecting angles Here we bisect an angle using the traditional method of drawing three circle and we also do it more efficiently using the bisect angle tool in the app. We also label and decorate the angles to prove that the resulting angles are equal. Perpendicular through point not on line In this video we construct a perpendicular line to a point not on the line using both analog and digital techniques. Perpendicular through point on line In this video we draw a perpendicular line through a point on the line; both traditional and digital methods explored. Drawing parallel lines Here we construct a parallel through a given point using the compass and straightedge and also with the digital tool. Two and three-point circles We draw two-point circles by bisecting the points to find the center. We draw three-point circles by bisecting two of the lines implied by the points to find the center. Lines tangent to circles Here we find points of tangency between a circle and a point on a line passing through the circle's center by bisecting the distance between the point and the center. This point is the center of a new circle whose points of intersection with the original circle are the sought for points of tangency. Method for dividing into arbitrary number of segments This video teaches how to divide any segment into an arbitrary number of equal parts by drawing a parallelogram, which allows you to transpose divisions onto the original segment.
