turtleArt Chatshaala

HBCSE MakerSpace organised a chatshaala series on “Exploring turtleArt “.

turtleArt is a great way to explore mathematical and programming concepts embedded in art-making centered context. It is inspired by LOGO, which is an educational programming language, designed by Papert et al. as a constructionist learning environment.

The following concepts were explored in the series:

• understanding turtleBlock/python turtle interface
• Exploring polygons I - variables, loops, conditional statements etc
• Exploring polygons II - nested loops
• Art related coding challenges
• Generative Art

There were two cycles of the turtleArt implemented.

• From 9th June to 25 June: 6 sessions spaced across 3 weeks
• From 23rd June to 7th July: 5 sessions spaced across 3 weeks

If you are keen to learn more about this, you can register on metastudio.org and start exploring turtleChat where you will find all the resources to begin with.
