\begin{itemize}
\item Draw ten concenteric circles

   \item each ring is darker than all rings outside of it
   \item each ring is thicker than each outer ring (use {\bf setlinewidth})
\end{itemize}

\item Draw the letter {\bf A}
\item Draw a tombsone with a flat top (use {\bf arcto})
\item Draw a spirograph star (hint: 6 ``points'' is easy)
\item Draw a regular polygon - make a procedure that accepts number of sides as an argument
