This sketchpad activity is designed to help you become more familiar with the tools available on Geometer’s Sketchpad, as we will be using this
software throughout the year. Your GSP Artwork will count as a quiz grade because this will take time, effort and creativity.
Task: Using GSP, create a drawing of recognizable objects or scenes --no “modern” art please. You are to include a title for your creation
as well as points, circles, segments, lines, arcs, color and text. DO NOT “HIDE” AN OBJECT THAT IS BEING GRADED BELOW. In other words, the
objects below must be easily found in your art.

The number grade is then assigned and reflects creativity, effort and time spent on your drawing.
