I realized that I was using two different references for the flag. Both are correct; one I used for my second version, it shows ratios for the measurment, using something like 1, (1/2), (1/4). The one Dr. Proctor shared with me was using bigger numbers for the measurement such as 12, 24, and 6. When I realized that the taeguk pattern is much bigger than it should be when I draw 건(gun), I realize that my code needs to be revised to make my circles smaller. I had to think of the usage of 'wdith' and 'unit' in the code. It took a while for me to figure things out. I did not want to change the fuction Dr. Proctor created, so I make adjustment of my previous work. I think of how this work would related to math learning or appying math skills. I used arc tangent to figure the angle I need to make for a turtle. I use the center of the big circle as one of a vertex of a right triangle and use the measurement of right trangle (with base 36 and height 24). That's how I got 33.69 degrees, and this was important information for me to move my turtle to the starting point of Dr. Proctor's Trigram fuction. A strategy I used consistently is that making lots of sketchy work on the piece of paper. I think of a couple different ways to do math using Taegukgi for elementary or middle schooler. So far just ideas, but I am hoping I can make actual lesson plans and use as an example for an culturally relevant lessons in math class. We can start with korean Flag, but I am sure there are many different flags we can try as well. I have not been able to make any motions in this drawing project. I wonder if I can make the flag to be waved or try to make the flag looking like fluttering in the wind, but I am pretty sure it requires much more advanced skills. I am sure I probably have many typos and mistakes here, but somehow this black screen for code makes me care less about me making typoes and errors. haha, I don't know why, but typing here feels very different from typing on word or google doc. This activity makes me feel much more comfortable to do 'try and see' without having a clear plan. I did many small changes and see how little changes I made worked or not worked. |

Korean Flag
Description
I share the image of Korean flag. I realize that I don't really know how to draw one without looking at the images, and it has been so long that I have paid close attention to it and the meaning. I decide to pick korean flag for my project to revisit the details of the flag and the meaning of each parts of the flag. My goal is to draw Korean flag (Tae Geuk Gi) using python and relearn the meaning of the flag and the history.
Planning
- milestone 1: Create yin-yang shape in the center of the Tae Geuk Gi. Learn how to add color.
- milestone 2: create fuctions, fuction A is written to draw a larger lectangule and the same fuction can be used 6 times (this is what I am hoping). Seceond fuction B is written to draw a smaller rectangle, and this fuction B can be used 12 times.
- milestone 3: Four coner of the flag requires different composition of larger rectangles and smaller rectangles, and this would be challenging to form a group (I expect four groups), and then rotate each group with different angles. I don't know if I would be able to do this, but I am pretty sure there is a way. Maybe there should be another step between milestone 2 and 3, milestone 2.5 should be creating four groups for the corners. For example, group 1 will be the one upper left corner, so it will need only 3 largers rectanlges, while the upper right corner would ned one larger rectangle and 4 smaller rectangles.
