In the modern world it is very difficult to meet a person who has never heard of coats of arms. Even wild tribes in African countries have certain symbols of their people, by which they are recognized by other tribes. However, a lot of people do not perceive the coat of arms as a symbol of the state, as something important not only for every patriot of their country, but for the whole people as a whole. People in this uncomplicated drawing see only a picture, which was created by a huge number of people.
Symbols of the children's team - the school coat of arms
Recently, creating a family coat of arms for the school has become a very fashionable and current trend. There is nothing illegal in creating such symbols for a small team, in Russia and other countries only territorial emblems are regulated.
First of all, check if there were persons in the family who had the official right to own such an honor. Even if you have not found such people among your distant relatives, you can alwaysturn on the fantasy and make a family coat of arms with your own hands.
Skillful hands and a flight of fancy - everything you need to create a coat of arms
To create a specific picture (no matter what the meaning of the image will be in the future), you need to decide on the background. By it is meant the outline or field of the drawing itself. For background you can choose:
- shield;
- clouds;
- field;
- outlines of leaves, etc.
It doesn't matter what the background is. It can be an ordinary thing that just caught your eye, or a trifle dear to your heart. The most elementary contours are geometric shapes.
Next, you need to decide on the color palette that will be present in your coat of arms. You should not copy similar works of other teams. Only your own imagination and a little ability to draw will help you answer the question of how to make a family coat of arms. The classic coat of arms has only 7 colors, but in the family coat of arms you can use at least the entire color palette, the main thing is that you like it.
If you have already decided on the color palette, and the contours are clearly marked, start thinking through the small details. For example, birds, fish, horses can be depicted inside a maple leaf. You can not depict animals, but draw a weapon or your own dream. Do you want to combine several images in one drawing? There is nothing unnatural in this either. Visually divide the field of the coat of arms into 2-4 parts and in each draw an image that is not related in meaning to the other. There is no clear indication of how to draw a family coat of arms. No one will tell you that it must necessarily have clear lines and real characters. Even if a cloud serves as a contour, and Kikimora Bolotnaya sits on it, it is still considered to be your family coat of arms.
Choose background and colors
When drawing a family coat of arms for school, it is worth considering whether some figures will support it on the sides, it can be people or animals.
When choosing a color, think about its meaning:
- white - denotes purity, frankness, nobility and service to the truth;
- yellow, orange, gold - we alth, power, virtues of Christians (mercy, justice, faith, independence);
- blue - fidelity, trust, faith in the best, beauty, the will to move forward;
- black - wisdom and constancy;
- red - courage, courage, courage and love;
- green - freedom, abundance, prosperity.
If you want to portray an animal that characterizes your family, then keep in mind that each of them has its own meaning:
- lion - courage, strength;
- phoenix - immortality;
- snake - wisdom;
- eagle - fertility, symbol of the sun;
- dragon - integrity and inner kindness;
- dolphin - strength;
- bee or ant - diligence;
- Gryphon - ruthlessness and rage.
Presentation or motto for coat of arms
It doesn't matter if you draw a family coat of arms for school, childrengarden or just for your collection, the main thing is that this image has its own meaning. Not every person can understand what you wanted to say with sunlight and a lot of toys in your drawing, so it's worth preparing a presentation or a motto.
Write a short story about why you chose these colors for the picture. What do these small images in the very center mean to you, and why did you choose them and not something else. If there were great personalities in the family with a family coat of arms, then tell this story: who were your ancestors, why did they receive such honor and award.
Don't forget the motto. It should not look like an essay on a free topic. You can write 5-10 words on the coat of arms, but these will be the main words that everyone will remember, these will be the words that characterize you and your family. The motto can be written:
- on the emblem itself;
- at the top of the picture;
- at the bottom of the picture.
It would be useful to write a little about the owner of this coat of arms, give him a little description.
Coat of arms tips
Before you start drawing, think about what you will depict. Do not immediately grab paints or felt-tip pens, make sketches with a pencil. You can always erase a simple pencil with an eraser, and a sheet of paper damaged by paint will have to be thrown away.
Draw what is really dear to you at the moment. Do you think that there is nothing more expensive than the cat Vaska, let it beis he. If you want your family crest to represent your mother, that's not a bad idea either.
The description of the family coat of arms must match the picture itself. Agree, it sounds very stupid: "I love my mom and my dad, and in the picture I have a cat Vaska and a teddy bear." Nobody forbids you to draw mom, dad, bear, cat and a bunch of other things.
High technologies of the modern world will also help
Not always the task of a school teacher is perceived with a great desire to immediately run away and fulfill it. If you don’t want to invent and fantasize, then a computer program or specialists from a whole science - heraldry will do it for you.
In fact, when creating a family coat of arms for the school, you will not notice anything complicated. It is not necessary to sit on the task in splendid isolation until late at night and draw every stroke. Gather friends, parents, call neighbors. The more people, the more fun the drawing and the process of its creation will be.
