Turtle Graphics Experiments on Python II

Ten days have passed since I last displayed my experimental turtle graphics. It startled me to see some of the comments that claimed it was new to their eyes. I was initially reluctant to write and publish it because I was worried that it would be too simple for others. I decided to replicate the turtle graphics and do further experimentation as a result. In essence, it doesn't require a digital drawing program as I don't paint or utilize similar tools. These turtle pictures were produced using codes, proving that art is created through coding.

For a while now, I've been experimenting with turtle graphics. In fact, I was shocked to learn that the university would also be offering a python session. We don't have it, as far as I can tell based on the course outline provided and posted on our Google classroom. Maybe my professor included it because she thought we should learn it. Since I had already taken it a few weeks before our official start, I felt confident in my ability to learn it.

_{The graphic is inspired by a Filipino Christmas carol.}

So, the Filipino Christmas carol served as the inspiration for my first experiment. If you look closely at the image, you can see that the star developed at the center, and as a result, the center of the star took on the shape of a heptagon. I couldn't set the correct colors I needed because I imported the color system, but it was alright. On its back, I picture blue, light green, blue, and a few other hues. I want to see if I can attach a Christmas light to the star's side. Unfortunately, it was beyond my current skill level.

_{A cell synthesis inspired graphic, but a bit shorter.}

I was researching random cell synthesis online before creating this graphic because I knew it would be simpler to code. I came up with this image out of the blue as a result of my research. In truth, I wanted to extend both sides, but I was unable to continue coding it since certain codes would constantly realign. The shapes I intended to create are crooked. You can see the stem cells developing if you just think of the sides as being long. You can recommend any colors for this graphic because I'm not particularly good at choosing color schemes, and I'll update it right away.

_{This is an end-circling spiral tube inspired.}

On YouTube, I came across this image, and I was astonished. Since I already understood the very fundamental commands of turtle graphics, at first, I believed it was difficult to duplicate without even viewing the entire video. After 13 tries, I finally succeeded in mimicking. In fact, it resembled the YouTube video I had just recently watched. This illustration included an end-circling spiral tube. Since I had previously imported the color system, it was difficult for me to alter the color, therefore I had to make a number of commands to my codes once more.

_{A fallen lotus tapped on the rippling water.}

This was the finest and my favorite experiment that I conducted this week, in my opinion. It featured a background of water ripples and was inspired by lotus blooms. It was charming, understated, and comforting. The flower in the middle, which is a combination of lotus and water ripples in a single frame, cannot be changed unless I separate the two. I've attempted it once, and it was incredibly difficult to fit two images into one frame. Range, positioning, and direction does not always follow my coding specifications. There should be more research done.

_{A graphic inspired by the Suman sa Ibos, a local suman in the Philippines.}

It was my favorite local suman out of all the suman out there, a suman called "suman sa ibos" in a town's fiesta. It was simple and not overly sweet, and the seductive yellow cover just enhanced it. It served as inspiration for the creation of these digital graphics. The top and bottom pieces of suman sa ibos make up the illusion in the middle. Banana leaves that will cover the suman were actually shaped into the six main lines. I really hope you understand the concept because suman is a fantastic food and I adore it.

_{This is a banig or a handwoven mat inspired graphic.}

I developed this form by mistake while creating suman sa ibos. It was created by combining two pentagonal polygons, and I adored the result. When I first saw this image, I immediately thought of the banig, or handwoven mat, I used to use as a child. I painted them all the same shade of light coral. I thought it belonged to the pink family, but the hue and thickness aren't quite what I expected. If I can, I'll add some colors when I re-code this.

_{A side slice of bread with a spiral motion inspired.}

In the very last of my experiment graphics, I drew inspiration from the sides of bread. I created a spiral motion and took inspiration from the sides of the bread. I used the color system once more because I was blank on what colors to use, so it was rather gorgeous and exciting to look at. The color will be off if I choose white or brown. We still had a few loaves on the table, and I noticed my sister separating them with peanut butter spread, so I tried to make this. I imagined a good shape in my wild imagination and tried to duplicate it in code. You might now see the finished project.

_{The sample code on the graphic was inspired by the Suman sa Ibos.}

import turtle

turtle.bgcolor('black')
turtle.tracer(2)
turtle.speed(2)
turtle.pencolor("gold")
turtle.pensize(2)

for i in range(0, 250):
    turtle.forward(20 + i)
    turtle.right(90)
    turtle.left(30)
    turtle.backward(60)
    i += 2
turtle.done()
