Drop Dead Gorgeous
This Study Plus unit from the National Strategies engages students in discussion about attractiveness, using photographs of the faces of famous people. The aim of this unit is for students to explore the golden ratio as a determinant of attractiveness. In particular the link to facial beauty is explored using the ideas of ratio and correlation.
The Fibonacci sequence as well as the golden ratio itself is also investigated. The unit involves the use of ratio and proportion, data handling, shape and space and measures.
There are links with citizenship and media studies through studying the celebrity culture, and with art and design through the study of facial form.
