I have recently discovered the power of Dynamic Symmetry, its origin, its stipulations and history. One quote from the person who put the principles together, Jay Hambridge, is worth mentioning: “As moral law without intellectual direction fails, ends in intolerance, so instinctive art without mental control is bound to fail, to end in incoherence. In Art the control of reason means the rule of design.” (Hambridge, Jay. The Elements od Dynamic Symmetry. Dover Publications, Inc., New York. 1967). I would urge you to incorporate dynamic symmetry into you static compositions.
