Our drawings will go from simple ones to more complicated. For the beginning students will draw a spiral art. Instructions are also available under Material sections if you want to edit/translate/print them. Don't share solutions with the students immediately, let them try to figure out what should they draw by following instructions!
This activity introduces the concept of loops in coding by applying it to drawing. It's a great was for kids to understand how repeating a set of instructions can create interesting patterns.
First task is really the simple one , encourage your students to follow the instructions within the loop (repeat) to draw the circles. After completing the loop 10 times, you'll have a beautiful spiral pattern on the paper.
Students can further decorate their spiral art by adding colors, patterns, details etc.
