Finish the Scene! ☀️🏠

Our house is almost done! Now let's add a SUN, a SKY, and some GRASS to make a whole picture! 🌅

By the end, you'll have a complete house scene! 🤩

import turtle

t = turtle.Turtle()
t.dot(50, 'yellow')

A Blue Sky 💙

First, let's paint the whole background sky blue! ☁️

Use turtle.bgcolor('skyblue') and the whole screen turns into a sky!

import turtle

turtle.bgcolor('skyblue')
t = turtle.Turtle()
t.forward(100)

Draw the Sun ☀️

The sun is a big yellow circle. The easiest way is t.dot(60, 'yellow')!

The first number is the size, the second is the color. Bright and warm! 🌞

import turtle

turtle.bgcolor('skyblue')
t = turtle.Turtle()
t.penup()
t.goto(-150, 120)
t.dot(60, 'yellow')

Sun Rays! 🌟

The sun needs rays shining out! ✨

We draw little lines spinning around the sun. A loop turns 45 degrees each time for 8 rays!

import turtle

t = turtle.Turtle()
t.pencolor('orange')
t.pensize(3)
for i in range(8):
    t.forward(40)
    t.backward(40)
    t.right(45)

Green Grass 🌱

The house needs to stand on grass! 🌿

We draw a big green rectangle along the bottom. Green and leafy! 💚

import turtle

turtle.bgcolor('skyblue')
t = turtle.Turtle()
t.penup()
t.goto(-200, -100)
t.pendown()
t.fillcolor('green')
t.begin_fill()
for side in [400, 60, 400, 60]:
    t.forward(side)
    t.left(90)
t.end_fill()

Fluffy Clouds ☁️

Let's add fluffy white clouds! ☁️ A cloud is just a few white dots together.

We draw 3 dots close to each other and they look like a cloud!

import turtle

turtle.bgcolor('skyblue')
t = turtle.Turtle()
t.penup()
for x in [80, 120, 160]:
    t.goto(x, 100)
    t.dot(40, 'white')

Put the House In 🏠

Now we add our house! Walls and roof from the earlier lessons. 🏠

Let's draw the yellow walls first.

import turtle

turtle.bgcolor('skyblue')
t = turtle.Turtle()
t.fillcolor('lightyellow')
t.begin_fill()
for i in range(4):
    t.forward(120)
    t.left(90)
t.end_fill()

Build the Whole Scene! 🌅

Let's combine everything: sky, sun, grass, and the house! 🏠☀️

This is a big program but it's just all our pieces together. Look how nice! 🤩

import turtle

turtle.bgcolor('skyblue')
t = turtle.Turtle()
t.speed(0)
t.penup()
t.goto(-150, 120)
t.dot(60, 'yellow')
t.goto(-60, -60)
t.pendown()
t.fillcolor('lightyellow')
t.begin_fill()
for i in range(4):
    t.forward(120)
    t.left(90)
t.end_fill()

Add a Path to the Door 🛤️

A little path leads up to the door! 🚶

We draw a gray rectangle from the door down to the grass.

import turtle

t = turtle.Turtle()
t.fillcolor('gray')
t.begin_fill()
for side in [30, 80, 30, 80]:
    t.forward(side)
    t.left(90)
t.end_fill()

A Flying Bird 🐦

Let's add a little bird in the sky! 🕊️ A bird is just two small curves like the letter M.

We draw two little arcs with t.circle() using a small size!

import turtle

turtle.bgcolor('skyblue')
t = turtle.Turtle()
t.penup()
t.goto(50, 130)
t.pendown()
t.right(45)
t.circle(15, 90)
t.left(90)
t.circle(15, 90)

Make YOUR Scene! 🌅🎨

Your turn! Change the sky color, the sun color, and where things go. 🤩

Maybe a pink sunset sky? 🌸 Or a purple night with a moon? 🌙 You're the artist!

import turtle

turtle.bgcolor('pink')
t = turtle.Turtle()
t.penup()
t.goto(120, 120)
t.dot(70, 'orange')
t.goto(-200, -100)
t.pendown()
t.fillcolor('green')
t.begin_fill()
for side in [400, 60, 400, 60]:
    t.forward(side)
    t.left(90)
t.end_fill()
