The video introduces turtle graphics, a method for drawing shapes using simple commands. It starts with basic commands to draw a square and progresses to creating spirals, including Euler spirals. The video then explores the Sierpinski triangle using a substitution system, demonstrating how to create complex fractals. Finally, it touches on advanced turtle programs using the digits of pi.
