What is the first thing that makes you attracted to Fractal Art?
I was googling and saw a fractal. I did not know what it was, but I liked it very much! Then I was googlin Fractals in Nature or Nature in FractalsHere is a Feature as part of the :iconcommunityrelations: Project Educate: Fractals Week 2011!
By now you may be knowing what Fractals are...so many other features here explained it clearly...so I'm not going to define it....
In one of his speeches, Mandel Brot, Father of Fractals, explains how he construct the geometry of things which have no geometry....
..ie, shape of Clouds, shape of Coast lines, shape of trees etc...He named it as Fractal geometry!
Self similarity is the main characteristic feature of these naturally occurring things around us...If you observe the structure of our Lungs,
structure of our Nervous System & Structure of Blood vessels we can see this phenomenon.
So we can say that we are breathing through our Fractal Lungs!!! Our blood is flowing through Fractal Veins etc...
In short Fractals are there in nature and we Fractalists try to create nature through Fractals using different Fractal generating programs....
Here are some examples....

Interview with lindelokse
Hi, Welcome to another edition of The F Word - Fractal Week Special edition. This week, October 10th-16th we celebrate projecteducate's Fractal Week, I want to give you a special edition of The F Word. This special edition will featuring interview with some fractal artists around deviantArt.
This time, i have an honor to interview the beautiful Apophysis gradener, Chiara Bianchineri a.k.a. lindelokse. They said that beautiful women tend to create beautiful piece of art, and I'm sure that it's true because you can see how lindelokse create some magnificently beautiful art.
Without much more addo, enjoy my interview with her.

My little contribution to the Project goes in this article. The main theme is: tweaks, tweakers and tweaking! I’m covering Apophysis program but feel free to read the article to the end to get a general idea of tweaking.
To tweak or not to tweak, that is the big question.
First of all, what is that strange word tweaking?
I guess since fractal art began, the programmers of the fractal programs have created formulas and plugins and a lot of resources to use to create the beauties we are, now, so delighted to see. With the expanse of fractal art, other fractalists decided to share their discoveries in form of tutorials or in the for The F Word: Interview With HalTennyThe F Word

Can you please introduce yourself?
I was born in New York and graduated in '73 as a music/art major. I'm married with two kids, a boy and girl, and have two grand kids, two boys. We all live together in North Carolina, sans son-in-law who bailed out. I've kept in the arts all along in one way or another including writing Fractal Flowers for 'Project Educate Fractal
Hello there fellow fractal artists and fractal lovers!! This week is "Fractal Week" holded by projecteducate and this article is part of my lil contribution
Today we will talk about “Fractal Flowers”, but first what is a fractal?
- A fractal has been defined as "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole. The term fractal was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured”. While fractals are a mathematical construct, they are found in nature, which has led to their inclusion in artwork. (Wikipedia)
So, fractal can be found in nature but at the same time nature can be found in fractals! One of the most representative natural shapes we see in fractals are flowers, and lets gonna be serious who doesn’t like The F Word: Interview With n8iveattitude1Hi, Welcome to the another edition of The F Word. It's been a long time since the last article. But, because on this week, October 10th-16th we celebrate projecteducate's Fractal Week, I want to give you a special edition of The F Word. This special edition will featuring interview with some fractal artists around deviantArt.
For This edition, I'm have an honor to interview our newest community volunter, the one and Only SuicideBySafetyPin. Other cv's give Light a nickname. and did you know what's her nickname? Hyperactive Gerbil
So, without much more addo, here's my interview with her.

What is the first thing that makes you attracted to Fractal Art?
i was looking for a background on google Fractals - The Art of Trial and ErrorI remember the first time I attempted fractal art. I wasn’t even on DeviantART at the time. I was talking to some friends over the internet, and one of them, a moderator at the time, was starting a community project to make a fractal tarot card deck. It occurred to me that out of the many artsy things I’d tried, fractals were not among them. I immediately downloaded some programs and started learning.
Platinus offered tons of times to show me the ropes, but I’ve always been the self-learner type, and most of what I know was learned through trial and error. I figured out how to manipulate the transforms in Apophysis, I was able to understand what variations did what, and I taught myself how to make things the colors I wanted them to be.
I learned the hard way about parameter files and what to save. I actually deleted some of my parameters without even thinking because I thought it was a useless file taking up space. I lost some more later due to a computer crash that Project Educate Fractal WeekHi my name is Light and i am a fractalholic......oh wait ….wrong meeting!
  
Hello!  Welcome to Project Educate Fractal Week. My mission this week is to try and explain what fractal art is, show you some programs used to create fractal art, and get you totally addicted to it like I am.
“What is Fractal Art?” i could copy something straight from wikipedia...or get one of my well versed fractal friends to give me a technical answer but....that’s just not my style..
I don’t really understand the “math” behind fractal art. I don’t want to. I just want the tools to make beautiful images. Platinus once told me “ a painter doesn’t really have to know what’s in the paint or how the canvas was made to be able to create beautiful work”  so I live by those words. If you have been thinking about trying fractals but stopped because you don’t know anything about the math requir:thumb262698183: Project Educate Fractal Week

JunkbyJen holds her 6th Think Pink contest, and of course fractals are allowed. Here's the article fav.me/d4c8z9k

And the big question many people have asked themselves. How many parameters has Light? dark-beam's poll: lucagn.deviantart.com/journal/… probably will give you the answer and your night sleep back.  What do you think? 42? Zero? A gazillion?



If you've a contest or something you want other to know, send me a note and I'll put it up in the next article.


Until then, happy fractaling
