Thanks for the comments everyone! There's no turtle. I called it Turtle Art because I was inspired by other programming languages (Logo & TurtleArt) that have little turtles that can leave a path behind them as they walk across the screen.
I made a really small sprite (I just painted a dot in the Scratch paint editor). Then the sprite moves back and forth, leaving a pen trail as it goes. The color of the pen is based on the current location of the sprite.
Download the 2 sprites and 2 scripts of "TurtleArt" and open it in Scratch
Project Notes
This project was inspired by Turtle Art software, created by Brian Silverman and Paula Bonta at Playful Invention Company

HOW I MADE THIS
The sprite uses its pen to draw a series of lines, each with a different color. For each line, the sprite moves out 300 steps, back 298 steps, then turns one degree. The color and brightness of each line depends on the sprite's x-position and y-position when it starts drawing the line.
MORE IDEAS
What if each line was shorter, or longer? What if the pen color depended on the sprite's y-position instead of its x-position?
