My Personal Coat Of Arms

Section 5: I chose a “musical” sword as my symbol of strength. I chose a sword because a good sword in the Medieval times could be used to show your worthiness as an opponent, and the point of a symbol of strength on your coat of arms was meant to show your worthiness as an opponent. I made the hilt red to show the militant purpose that the sword served.The sword is musical to show another one of my areas of strength. I did this by drawing viola/violin f-holes to both sides of the blade. I also added a piano design to the sword’s cross guard. These two instruments were chosen because they are the most recognizable instruments. They were also the instruments I first learned to play.

From the Golden State Warriors logo to the United States flag they show a preview of what they are like. The name of my island is Lealtad. The symbol is two people reaching out for each other. In an article in the New York Times, Cynthia Miller-Idriss, says that a flag should be respected because expresses the unity of a society. The name and symbol both show what a country or group believes in and shows that they are unique and that the society works together. If you take a look at the Canadian flag it will show a maple leaf, the maple tree is the national tree in Canada. The California flag shows a bear, because the state animal of California is a bear. Each symbol shows that they are special for something, and that each society believes

Dread Scott’s very controversial illustration is titled What is the Proper Way to Display a Flag? What better title to stir the people’s ideas and gain their opinions on the correct way to present symbolistic fabric? a.) Many people believe that the American flag should never touch the ground, as it is a sign of disrespect. However, what many Americans don’t seem to know is there technically no rule on how one must display a flag. b.) This piece addressed, not only very important social issue, but a political one as well. As miniscule as they may seem to all the other problems society is facing, they desperately needed to be addressed for American citizens, specifically, to truly consider which values they hold dear to themselves and their

Symbols are very important and influential to everyone. Symbols holds a hidden meaning that, in most cases, are more influential than telling it blunt. Yes, sometimes telling it bluntly works but putting it as a symbol shows a deeper meaning and relevance to what you, your community, or your nation stands for.

The motto on the Coat of Arms is the Latin phrase, “Nemo me impune lacessit,” meaning, “Nobody offended me with impunity.” During the description, we feel the sad prediction of what is going to happen. It is as if the tormentor had coldly and in an inquiring way, pronounced an irreversible death sentence for his hated enemy.

In each of my four categories, I have two symbols representing its importance. In my first category, which is culture my two symbols is the flag of Mexico and a dia de los muertos (day of the dead) skull. I picked the Mexican flag because I identify myself as Mexican. I also chose the dia de los muertos skull because it is an important holiday in Latin America. This holiday honors the deceased by celebrating life. For my Hobbies category, I drew a book and a theatrics facemask. One of my biggest passions is acting. Ever since I was a kid, I have always wanted to be on television and performing on stage. I also drew a book because I enjoy reading as a pass time. The next category is Animals for this section I drew a pug and a lion. For my final category, which is family, I drew an airplane and people. Although I do have some family living in Canada, majority of them live in Latin America. The only family I have living in Canada are from my mothers’ side of the family. All of my other family members, including my father and siblings live in Mexico.

In honor of Veteran’s Day, I created a piece that symbolizes many things. Half of my project is the American flag, which in itself represents many different aspects of American history. The fifty stars represent the fifty states, the thirteen stripes are for the original thirteen colonies, and the colors show innocence, hardiness, and justice. Everything together, shows our pride for our country and our values. On the other half, I included a more personal aspect to the project. My cousin recently joined the Marines so, I included the Marine Corps. symbol. The charred line between the flag and the symbol shows that the Marines are a separate unit, but we are all together as one.

     Another vague subject of patriotism brought up in times of war is the iconography. In America the most commonly known icon of patriotism is the American flag. Unfortunately, what the flag represents is ambiguous and unclear to most people. Kingsolver pleads, “We desperately need a new iconography of patriotism” (Pg. 2). When examining why she says this we should look at what other people believe the flag represents. Some, traditionally conservative or republican, feel the flag is a physical representation of supporting their country. An abundance of flags are often seen during times of war or tragedy. Flags signify peoples care, concern, or support for what is going on. The absence of an American flag can often result in persecution. People who do not openly display their so called patriotism are often

The Army takes great effort to ensure a fair and unbiased force. A force that can rely on all its members to execute as a team and trust all of its members to do what needs to be done. But if members of that force believe a perpetuation of a belief system through a national historical symbol is detrimental, that will undermine that force.

The crest on a pole is the most important part of the pole because it tells who the specific family or tribe is. Each family had their own unique crest that would have been been passed down from generation to generation, to the native people of Early American the family crest was more than just a symbol like it is today. The crest was a honourable thing, people would fight and die for their crest. The crest can be anything from carved stone to a waved basket. Eagles are the most common symbol for totem poles and crests because they were considered to be medicine birds also were considered to have very powerful magic abilities. Totem poles were not just used to honor someone, they could also be used as a way to shame someone or a whole tribe. A shame pole would be set up in the center of a tribe if it is to shame a specific person. They were used to expose another person or tribe for something disgraceful they

While our parents offer themselves to help us grow as civilized human beings, one of the most important things they do is present to us our culture. As a small child, my parents introduced me to the world, and what a wonderful place it can or can’t be. Different traditions were taught to me throughout my years and these developed into the fundamental ideas for my lifestyle and culture. The idea of culture that we all share is extremely complex, so it is hard to define any parts of it without the use of symbolism. In order to define my culture, I selected three objects to represent me and my culture in a broad spectrum. However odd these objects may seem, I chose an aluminum ring, a computer and a Christmas stocking. These particular items

Slavery, Hardships, and Freedom? This book describes a day in a life of Frederick Douglass. In 2013, I saw a movie called ’12 Years A Slave’ reading this book and watching the movie was eye-opening for me. ‘My Freedom’ in this book explains that young Douglass suffered as a slave, when which he failed to flee his ‘Bondage’, then eventually he escapes that life. Douglass’s story continues to reverberate throughout his life and the American Dream that he conquered all the obstacles that he overcame and reached his goal. He shows us that you can achieve your goals if you strive for it. “My Bondage and My Freedom” is an eye-opener for your life and you can compare your life and see how you can make a change

For as long as there have been people, there have been methods of distinction amongst them. Throughout the years we have discovered ways in which to express our beliefs, our ideals, and our passions. Tattooing has been one of forefront methods in expressing our humanity, or in certain cases, our lack there of. For so many, they have taken on many different representations, each with an equal level of significance. The importance found in the symbolism of tattoos and their cultural relevance has consistently been a trend found throughout history, religion, and art.

In medieval times a coat of arms was used to identify knights as part of a clan or family and setting themselves apart from other knights and enemies. On my coat of arms I choose a book to represent my love for books and stories, and a Zodiac key from one of my favorite stories “Fairy Tail”. Also on my coat of arms there’s a flower and a vine that represent how much I enjoy the outdoors and nature as well as a crescent, because I’m the second born child. Another thing that I have included on my coat of arms is a fox, because my family always tell me that I am very witty and that I usually have something clever at the tip of my tongue. On my coat of arms I used the colors silver and blue not only because they’re my favorite colors but also,
