[30 designs derived from the circle]
The circle is an ancient and universal symbol that holds a variety of meanings and connotations. Unity, wholeness and infinity are among the most common. It is a shape often considered sacred and divine. Rooted in the beginning of time - seen in the sun, the moon, and the planets as well as the eye or pupil. I particularly found the spiritual energy and cosmic unity associated with this symbol inspiring.

30 Designs with the Hexagon shape
The hexagon has six sides, if we tie it in with the number 6 it means communication, balance, unity, and interfacing. Each side has the same length, which means equality. The balance comes from the opposites, each opposite has the same length and direction.

The hexagon can also be seen in nature, is used in the beehives. This means efficiency, community, natural. Its found in the honeycomb and it can be associated with the cooperativeness of the bees and their hardworking nature.
Triquetra
The Triquetra is derived from the Latin word Triquetrus meaning Three Cornered. It is a symbol of things that are threefold, such as Mother, Daughter, Grandmother; Past, Present, Future; Land, Sea, Sky; Holy Trinity. It is commonly found in Celtic Art and sometimes used by Wiccans to symbolize the triple goddess. It often has a circle in or around it.

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.
Students Saving the Arts
The mission of SSA is to fund art programs in South Florida public schools (and eventually across the country). These programs have been disappearing under budget cuts, and studies have shown that art programs are vital in the development of a child’s mind. Not only is it an outlet for them to express their emotions, but it helps them form problem solving skills and enhances their academic learning. Students will use their work to put on shows, volunteer at schools, and spread awareness about the importance of the arts as a part of a child's education.
Eventually I'd like to include advising for art students, networking opportunities, workshops, etc.

The word rhombus is derived from the Greek word rhombos, meaning something that spins. The term "solid rhombus" symbolizes two right circular cones sharing a common base. The shape was first used in playing cards in the 15th century in France. The Suit of Diamonds indicates financial matters, relationships, and struggles.
