Title:Bryneven Coding with 2Logo to make a artistic pattern
DESCRIPTION:This coding lesson links in with the current Purple Mash classes; being done
during formal day. Here is work that builds on that understanding. This
particular lesson is streamed from the early code lesson -touched by the
experience of the Intermediate phase learners (grade 4 to 6). In this lesson we
explore with 2Logo; creating an automated art piece – the design aspect lie
within the procedure. The steps and direction taken by the pen: the cursor is
moving with left and right turns, in degrees; the cursor is also crossing the
space with forward movements -each step helps the learner see how to work within
the available space, on the screen. We look at the movement procedure building
up – providing a pattern that fits -with the up, down and colour featuring. This
lesson took place on the 8th of October – with the younger group of coders (8 to
10 yrs). Bryneven Primary School has been using Purple Mash for over 2 years.
This website has facilitated a valuable coding base -from which learners can
build a thorough understanding. What is most fascinating about this lesson? The
way the given code pieces translate – into unexpected patterns. Very often,
forms are foreshadowed, come about in an unexpected way -based on the movement
of the pen across the paper. Here we have the screen – with the movement of the
cursor. Yet, in this movement, combinations brings forth a delightful complex
patterning – with unique features. Mr Bradley teaches for the Gauteng Department
of Education. Mr Bradley teaches at Bryneven Primary School. This is a public
school in Bryanston, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. Bryneven Primary has
introduced coding dynamics -using Purple Mash- since 2017.
