Now more often at school non-standard homework is set: to compose verses or a story, draw pictures on certain topics or make a verbal portrait of yourself and your loved ones. One of these tasks is often the compilation of a genealogical tree and the arms of the child's family. It is aimed at ensuring that schoolchildren study the history of their families, organize joint activities of adults and children, and help shape the understanding of the importance of family values. Such tasks often seem very complicated at first glance, but in reality it is not so difficult.
In this article, we will talk about how to compose and draw the arms of your family for the school.
Rules for Drawing Up the Emblem
The coat of arms is a symbol (emblem) of the state or clan. Therefore, in order for the family coat of arms you made for the school to be not just a drawing, it should be done according to the following rules of heraldry:
1. The coat of arms must be made in the form of a shield of one of these forms:
2. On the sides of the shield there may be shield holders - figures that seem to support it (animals, figurines of people or something special from the history of the family).
3. Each color has a certain value:
- White is nobility, frankness, purity and truthfulness.
- Golden or yellow - power, wealth and Christian virtues: faith, justice, mercy and independence.
- Black - constancy and wisdom.
- Blue - beauty, loyalty, honesty, trust, movement forward and hope for the best.
- Green - abundance, joy, freedom.
- Red is love, courage, courage.
4. The coat of arms may have a border with a picture of what is associated with the traditions of the family.
5. In the center of the shield, the main symbol should be located: usually choose some animal, plant or object.
How to come up with and design the coat of arms of your family?
To create a family coat of arms for the school you need to get together with the whole family and hold a council, on which you must:
1. Recall and briefly record the history of all family members.
2. To determine:
- the basic common traits of character inherent in your ancestors and all members of the family;
- hobbies, interests and professions;
- objects and places that are important in the history of the family and for you.
This can be done in the form of a psychological method of solving problems - "Brainstorming" , when everything is recorded absolutely what is said, and then the main one is selected.
3. Out of all, highlight 4 main character traits for your family and choose the animal or plant that will display them. For example:
- phoenix is a symbol of immortality;
- the lion is strength and courage;
- the snake is eternity and wisdom;
- the eagle is a symbol of the sun, the source of light, fertility;
- dolphin - strength;
- bee and ant - diligence;
- dragon - good and inviolability;
- fish - luck and prosperity;
- griffin - strength, rage and ruthlessness.
When drawing the chosen animal, one must take into account that the coat of arms uses a simplified image, without taking into account the generic features and species. There are also several specific poses that can be used in a coat of arms: standing, sitting, marching, in flight or in motion.
4. Select the shape of the coat of arms from all available shields. After you have decided on the form, you have to draw it on a large sheet of paper to make it convenient for the whole family to work.
5. Begin to fill the coat of arms - it can be done simultaneously all together, dividing the space along the edge of the arms between family members or provide an opportunity to draw the child himself. Do not try to fill the entire coat of arms with some drawings, because in this way, they will simply be lost.
6. Color the coat of arms, using colors to convey a certain value.
Also at the bottom of the tape or the border or from above you can write and the motto of the family .
Carrying out the arms of your family, do not deprive the child of the opportunity to bring his ideas and suggestions into it, because this is his homework.
