Animation | Animating Parametric Lines

Oh boy, next step.. ANIMATION! This is suuuper exciting and super cool! I've always admired animation but have always been intimidated to try it, but thanks to this "animate" tool this will be a lot more simple. 

I wanted to first use the parametric line I created from the last assignment, although I knew I had to change the definition since we learned how to use rotate properly in the last class. 

This was the definition for the first one : for some reason I added multiple rotates, it did what I wanted but there was a better way

And now here is the new definition : This did NOT work out for me, I don't know what I was doing and for some reason when moving the number slider my curves were not doing the things I wanted them too. 

In that case, I decided to take a step back and re-make a new definition from the same shape, then I ended up with this... Okay, I have no idea if this is right or not.. it seems too simple, Is simple okay?? I still decided to go with it since I was able to make an animation from it.

Here's the gif :

As much as I think this is pretty amazing, first of all the square in the middle is bothering me and my definition just seemed too simple. Therefore I want to try to make an animation with a polygon and this time sort of follow the demo that we had in class. (Good thing I saved those as a practice file!) 

I wanted to use "Region Union" to array polar this shape too but I didn't really want just the outer or inner outline of the drawing I wanted to use the whole thing, and since that didn't work I just scratched it out. So here was the final result :

 

I genuinely think this assignment is super cool, so much potential. Apart of me thinks that I can do a lot more. If I add more to this post, thats me attempting to create something else, if there is nothing after this then I ran out of time!
