Hy-Earth's Flag and Anthem -- Project 2
For my second project of Apollo, I started off with the idea of making an animated music video in the perspective of a victim of the Holocaust along with The National's "Don't Swallow the Cap" lyrics. However, I couldn't follow through with this idea because of technological issues and lack of motivation... So since I've been so passionate about this Hybrid species idea, I decided to continue out their story! My final idea for Project 2 was to design and sew a 3x5 foot flag and write an Anthem for Hybrid Earth. My flag's color and symbol choices were inspired by current flags around the world and by psychological meanings. My anthem was inspired by current anthems around the world - I adopted their style and importance of phrases and words.
Part 1
Part 2
This is what I created for my Social Studies grade. Mr. Wimmer wanted me to create a mind map to explain the meaning behind my flag's color and symbol choices. I've included research on specific flags from the modern world and research on the psychology of colors to create a solid purpose for my flag of Hy-Earth.

Part 3
For my English grade, Mr. Ward gave me the fantastic idea of writing an anthem for my Hybrid World. And so I did. I researched many anthems from around the world to get an idea of a format and style. I wrote verses similar to those of other anthems, using words and phrases that have great significance to the culture and that tell a story.

Another Apollo project is complete. It's almost as amazing as the last! I'm so glad I decided to continue out the hybrid story! I think I might keep it going for the next two projects.
Again, big thank you to my mom for doing all of the sewing parts for me on my flag! You are amazing!
