Sacredness
It's about perceiving the perfection of form rather than calculating mundane quantities. Seen through this truthful lens, geometry can be a vehicle to the transcendent.
-
Ingenious Techniques
Gain the requisite skills to draw accurate equilateral triangles to enneagons and everything in between. Construct the golden ratio, square the circle, and more.

Self-Paced Course Details
Experience Scott's high-quality, high-impact course in time-released lessons (one chapter per week), which hopefully keeps you engaged but not feeling overwhelmed.
Most of the course consists of Scott's screen-captured HD quality videos (with subtitles in English, French & Spanish) that you watch and then practice what is explained on your own—either on paper or using a drawing program (Scott uses a free iOS app which he explains how to use in the course).
This course also includes printable PDFs, optional quizzes and student surveys. You can ask questions and comment using the course's built-in discussion groups in most chapters.
Each course comes with scheduled group coaching webinars (using zoom.us) every 4-6 weeks or so where students can interact with Scott in live chat. Enrolled students will periodically receive emails with weekend webinar dates. If you miss one, catch the next webinar when it is scheduled.
*Course and webinar access expires after one year from the date of enrollment.
