Fourth Quarter Project Proposal

Turtle Art and Scratch

Description:

Turtle Art is an activity with a Logo-inspired graphical "turtle" that draws colorful art based on Scratch like snap-together visual programming elements. The conditionals and some of the functions only take constants or variables, not expressions. Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art.

Goals:

1. Learn to use all of the programing blocks in Scratch and TurtleArt.
2. To be able to draw a program by hand and then make a TurtleArt program to draw it.
3. To be able to make up a story (story board) and then make a Scratch program to tell it.
