Design your own heraldic shield.

Order Description

The shield must have a minimum of four components: Include at least one animal, at least one plant or tree, at least one color and a Latin Motto. This will involve

some personal reflection and some research.

This shield must be actually drawn out, photoshopped or cut and pasted together. You may use any material you please: leather, wood, paper, fabric or steel. There must

be a physically created shield, not a virtual shield that exists only online.

Take your time, reflect on your character and represent who you are to the best of your ability. Do NOT just scribble something out on a piece of lined notebook paper!
Give a detailed and thorough explanation of each of your choices of symbols. One paragraph for each symbol is my suggestion.

Take a photo of your shield and include it in your essay. You will lose points for pictures that are too large to see properly. No attachments will be graded!

Cite your sources

Essay needs to be just long enough to adequately explain your symbols, at least one paragraph for each symbol, color and motto.
