When I looked at this piece of artwork the first thing that caught my eye was the different flag each side was displaying. The American side, that is full of some of our pop culture legends, is holding a bold American flag. On the other side we see the white surrender flag accompanied by people of the Middle East.…
The role of a women in the American Revolution was originally a supportive spouse. They would tend to household needs and take care of their husbands businesses while they were away at war. Like in the picture “Banner of Washingtion’s Life Guard” she watches the man leave her behind as he goes to war. She is in a dress and is holding on to American symbols behind her which shows that she will be waiting for him to come back. Another painting that shows how women were expected to be is “Liberty in the Form of a Goddess of Youth Giving Support to the Bald Eagle”. She is giving life to the bald eagle by feeding him and crushing the British symbols with her foot. She is holding firm to her beliefs and feeding the bald eagle at the same time. Women…
The documentary film The Boys of Baraka it begins with logos. To demonstrate the information in the film they present the information on a black screen, just as if it were a power point. In the first black screen in the beginning of the film it says; In Baltimore, Maryland 76% of African American boys do not graduate High school. Logos are important in this documentary film, to demonstrate how serious the problem in Baltimore is, and how much these boys actually need all the help they can get.…

* B.E High School. I chose B.E High School because it has relevance to the topic and it tells a lot in itself. The mascot could be something to do with a man that has maybe some kind of armor on. Or something that has to do with Byzantines. Something that has somewhat of relevance to the school’s name.…
¨Nothing stayed put. Nothing had a name.Nothing was as it once was.¨ In ¨The Drummer Boy of Shiloh¨ by Ray Bradbury, Joby, the drummer boy, thinks he is not an important part of the war. He wants to be a soldier and have a gun but the general changes his mind by telling him how important he is to the army. And how, if the general were to die, he would be the general. After hearing this, Joby realizes how important he is to the army. Thus, becoming a proud drummer boy. In the story, there are symbols of hope, fatherhood, and strength. A symbol is something with a hidden meaning. In Bradbury's story there are the drummer boy symbolizes hope, the general symbolizes fatherhood, and The Battle Of Shiloh symbolizes strength.…
Themes in stories can be developed through many different means. It can be openly stated or just simply implied. Throughout history symbolism has been used to develop stories. Even in the bible there are multiple symbols that can be found. J.D. Salinger uses symbols to help readers understand the overall message and theme of his book The Catcher in the Rye. From Holden’s red hunting hat to Allie’s baseball mitt, symbols are constantly being thrown into the story. One other symbol that I think is highly significant is the ducks in Central Park.…
Symbols can change over time such as the iron cross, Celtic cross, pentagrams, and stars. And as graphic designers it is important to realize the education and history of design in order to communicate a clear message to the audience. Graphic designers must appreciate design matters and become familiar with the nature and impact of visual communications such as powerful logos like the swastika. As graphic designers we must become aware of the impact designs have on the world and what visual language is being used to convey the message. Designs can produce different economic and social benefits and consequences. Just as Hitler stole the symbol of the swastika from mankind and used it for his evil ways against humanity for many years, I believe the symbol still has power to redeem its beauty and mysteriousness and place itself back to where it deserves among other great symbols in…
In “Battle Royal” Ralph Ellison uses symbolism to further his ideas. A notable symbol is the naked blonde who entices young black boys as she dances. The woman is a representation of America and contributes to the main character’s story of race. The black boys in a local hotel’s main ball room, and in there, they were forced to look at the naked blonde dance. The girl has a tattoo of the American flag (Ellison). The flag is symbolical in that it relates to several these in the story like the fight for equality. To Americans, the American flag is a symbol of independence, equality, freedom and the American dream. The flag tattoo…
Out of the top left corner and the bottom right corner of the poster, emerge a pair of sinister black hands that have on them the symbol that represents the countries of Japan and Nazi Germany. In the top left corner of the poster are the words “Keep These Hands Off” (Odell). Across the very bottom of the poster, in large, bold white lettering read the words “Buy the new Victory Bonds” (Odell).

Layered atop the blue background is found the image of a mother cradling an infant child. This image is included by the artist to appeal to the sense of love a person might have for his or her own…
On my group's posters, we used elements that could compare to our topics. For example, in the Toussaint L’ouverture poster, the directors were the French and American revolutions because the Haitian revolution was inspired by those two revolutions. It was starring Napoleon because he was the French leader at that time and Haiti was a colony of the French at that time. It was also starring the Grand Blancs, Petit Blancs, and slaves because those were the people in Haiti that were objecting to being ruled by France and fought for their freedom. I choose the background as a fight scene between the French and the Haitians because when Toussaint L'Ouverture decided to lead his people to their freedom, they had to fight against the French. The focus of the picture was Toussaint L'Ouverture wearing his general clothing because it showed how he was fighting for…
I think the majority of Americans have the experience of protesting or dream to in the future. Individuals want to protest to bring change for a better future in their society. Protesting can reflect as an American experience and identity by wanting to have the freedom of speech or fight for what they believe in. I have chosen a work of art image, that portrays the significance of how protesting can reflect as an American experience and identity.…

The Qing line was initially settled in 1636 by the Manchus to assign their administration in Manchuria (now the Northeast locale of China). In 1644 the Chinese capital at Beijing was caught by the renegade pioneer Li Zicheng, and frantic Ming administration authorities approached the Manchus for help. The Manchus exploited the chance to grab the capital and build up their own line in China. By receiving the Ming type of government and keeping on utilizing Ming authorities, the Manchus mollified the Chinese populace. To ensure Manchu control over the organization, on the other hand, the Qing verified that a large portion of the more elevated amount authorities were Manchus. Chinese military pioneers who surrendered were given positions of honorability, and troops were sorted out into the Lüying, or Army of the Green Standard, which was garrisoned all through the nation to make preparations for neighborhood uprisings. The general Manchu Banner System troops (Qibing, or Baqi) were kept at the capital and in a couple…
I believe our school is like a tree; we are all different parts of this tree, for example – The teachers and the principal are like the roots, which supplement us with knowledge and help us to grow. If I was Head Girl, I would be like the manure which the gardener spreads to enrich the ground, just that little added extra can make a big difference. But the symbol I chose is the candle.…
