UPDATE: Given Datacamp’s catastrophic handling in the case of one of their managers sexual harassement of one of their employees, I would strongly advise against supporting this company any longer. However, since I am still very thankful to the author of Phyllotaxis for what I have learned, I will leave this post as it is. I am optimistic, that in the future many authors will be much less willing to contribute to such a company but instead choose other (perhaps even non-commercial) platforms for sharing their knowledge.

I recently came across a tweet pointing me to the free Phyllotaxis-course at Data camp:

I took these examples from https://www.datacamp.com/projects/62.

Task 1: Patterns in nature

Task 2: Warming up: drawing points on a circle

Task 3: Make it harmonious with the Golden Angle

Task 4: Remove everything unnecessary

Task 5: A bit of makeup: size, color and transparency¶

Task 6: Play with aesthetics: the dandelion

Task 7: Put all it together: the sunflower

Task 8: What if you modify the angle?

Task 9: All together now: imaginary flowers

Special Task: gganimate
