Take Five

http://daikons.com/animeduc.swf

I did some animation for my art119 class.  The idea was to play with the star shape because it has five points.  I was also timing the animation so that the frames would end or start at 5 sequence such as 5 10 20 100 etc.
Having done the shape, I researched to find that the star contains the Golden ratio in the triangle pieces.  I can see something special it this shape.  The star contains a pentagram at the center and also if the points of the stars are connected with a line then a pentagram is at the outside of the star.  The outside pentagram is twice as bigger then the inner pentagram and inverse.
The star shape is also a fractal.
