Spade Design



Craig Shervin - Art 291
30 geometric constructions using only spades. The word 'spade' is of Greek origins, meaning 'sword.' It was a symbol of war and battle, and was worn on the shields of Europe's greatest warriors. Later, the symbol was adapted to represent nobility or power. During World War II, some American soldiers wore the spade on their helmets to represent their ability and prowess as a military force, and it was rumored that some soldiers dropped the playing card, the Ace of Spades, on the enemies they killed.
