Inkscape Star Activity

Today in my computing class, I was asked along with my classmates by our teacher to do an activity in Inkscape. The activity consists of making any form of shapes but the only exception was that we'd only used the star-tool to make them.

After a few tries I started making various unique shapes by dragging the pointers on the star tool and by adjusting the star values table. I made pointy ones and rounded ones to all sorts of weird star shapes. I done so much that the shapes I made could no longer be perceived as stars but as other forms of objects.

In the end I made a lot of shapes and here are a few I'll show to you:
