5 - Fractal Art; Fractal Geometry as rendered pictures

Benoit Mandelbrot coined the term fractal in the mid 70's. Soon fractal art became a passion as rendered pictures were so beautiful. We honor Mandelbrot's observation that everyday objects such as coastlines ("Chocolate Coast"),   snowflakes, clouds, leaves ("Fractal Forest"),    and mountain ranges are described by fractal geometry.
     Fractals create rendered pictures by seemingly infinite iterations of formulas that contain complex numbers. Much has been written of these fractal formulas and the men that devised them, symbolized here by the Fractal Library... "Sierpinski's Carpet" , "The Julia Set", and "Koch's Snowflake" .
     When combining fractal formulas and the force of computer generation, many patterns develop. Sections of self-similarity, the trademark of a fractal, are found in "Butterfly Wing", "Bottom Fish", "Cubes", "DancingJugs", "Green Spiral", "Autumn Leaves", "Christmas Boot", and "Red Satin" and "Fern".
