Mandala Art Creator: Art with Python Turtle Graphics

Abstract

This work explores the use of Python Turtle graphics as a tool for designing art with programming concepts in creative ways. Turtle graphics is an easy and entertaining approach for learners to visualize and play with code in an artistic manner. The paper explains “Mandala Art Creator”; a Python program to generate a random or customized Mandala Art using the Turtle graphics module and its implementation in the textile industry. In Mandala Art Creator the user is prompted to provide their name and choose between two options: random configuration and personalized configuration. The computer’s algorithm determines colors and angles for the Mandala Art on its own in random mode. The user can customize the Mandala Art experience in custom mode by specifying colors and rotation degrees.
