Extended Research: Check with your instructor to see if he/she is interested in awarding extra credit to you for writing a one-page report on the following research topic: Scott Hagan is a living “barn” artist from Jerusalem, OH. Research the Internet to find information about him and how he is using geometry in his career. Make a one page report about him and include pictures of his work. To retrieve a picture from the Internet, right click on the picture, copy it, and then paste it into the document. List the websites that you used as references for your information and pictures. Send the document to your instructor via the VLA email.
