SYMBOLS & PHILOSOPHY
The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection and royal power.

Rebus
A rebus is a type of word puzzle which uses images, pictures and/or icons to represent words or parts of words. It is the sound that the words make which is utilised to create the rebus.
We were required, in class, to create a rebus based on a phrase of three or more words.
