For those who might want to dig deeper into the theories behind "rule of thirds" :

First, Fibonacci Numbers in nature, the "golden number," rectangles and shell spirals:

Part two: Phi and the most irrational number:

Next step: Fibonacci numbers in art, architecture and music:

Sample tidbit from the music section:

Did Mozart use the Golden mean?
This is the title of an article in the American Scientist of March/April 1996 by Mike Kay. He reports on the analysis of many of Mozart's sonatas and finds they divide into two parts exactly at the golden section point in almost all cases. Was this a conscious choice (his sister said he was always playing with numbers and was fascinated by mathematics) or did he do this intuitively?

Enjoy!
