An Exploration of Artistic and Technological Symmetry
Papert, Artemis
LEARNing Landscapes, v11 n1 25-30 Aut 2017
In this interview, biologist, artist, and shiatsu healer Artemis Papert describes how computational thinking can help people organize their thoughts in a more formal way. She discusses TurtleArt, a software that allows both children and adults to create two-dimensional static art images using geometry and coding as a medium. TurtleArt not only bridges the worlds of math and art, but is also easy to learn. She concludes by reading an excerpt from the article, "Teaching Children Thinking"-- written in 1971 by her father Seymour Papert--as a still relevant starting point for where technology is heading.
