Today's Bogorodsk has retained in its appearance the features of a wealthy large village: well-built merchant mansions, shop premises, some of which are still used as retail space. The new Church of the Intercession of the Virgin Mary (16 Venetskogo St.) also reminds us of antiquity, despite the fact that it was built in the 1990s.

2. THEORETICAL PART

2. 1. What is a coat of arms and heraldry?

In Ancient Rus' there were no coats of arms in the traditional sense of the word, but they had their own signs and emblems. The oldest among them were the so-called signs of the Rurikovichs - the signs of the Russian princes, which were passed on by inheritance, although with some changes.

The word "coat of arms" came into Russian in the 16th - 17th centuries. Translated from German, the word “coat of arms” means “inheritance”. So the word itself contains one of the important features of the coat of arms - stability, constancy in use.

The coat of arms is a distinctive sign.

The word "heraldry" has three meanings:

• this is a department of historical science (a special historical discipline) that deals with the study of coats of arms (in this sense, heraldry is also called “coat of arms”).
• is the practice of creating and using insignia: coats of arms, emblems, flags, banners, uniforms and others.
• this is the totality of all insignia used by one owner (in this meaning one can say, for example, “heraldry of Russia”, meaning by this the entire wealth of heraldic signs used and used in our country; or “heraldry of the Lakshin school”, meaning by this all the signs , existing and used in the mentioned school).

Heraldry knows all the rules for drawing up coats of arms. Coats of arms are drawn up according to special rules and in accordance with a certain tradition. Everything matters here - both the ratio of the elements of the coat of arms and their color.

Who can own the coats of arms? States, cities, individual territories, groups of people (corporations), clans. In Russia, the state coat of arms first appeared. Then land and city emblems, and then family ones. There was no corporate heraldry in our country.

Practical heraldry was at its peak, i.e. drawing up coats of arms, reached in the XV - XVII centuries. cities that achieved self-government, craft shops, noble citizens, and clergy became owners of coats of arms. Noble heraldry developed, and state emblems were formed.

2. 2. Components of the coat of arms

The coat of arms consists of a shield and an outer part.

The most common forms of shield are the following:

• triangular (Varangian)
• oval (Italian)
• square, rounded at the bottom (Spanish)
• quadrangular, pointed at the bottom (French)
• cut-out (German)

In Russian heraldry, the French form of the shield was more often used.

Heraldry uses a clearly defined color scheme. For this purpose, there are two metals, five colored enamel (enamels) and two furs. These names have been preserved from the times when wooden shields were actually upholstered with metal or fur, and metal decorations and colored images were made on them.

The two metals are gold and silver. They are indicated by yellow and white colors, respectively.

Five enamel:

• red (passion)
• blue (loyalty and honor)
• green (freedom)
• black (courage)
• purple (bravery)

Of course, it is not always possible to depict the coat of arms in color. Therefore, at the beginning of the 17th century. A graphic system for designating metals and enamel was developed.

In heraldry, two furs are used - ermine and squirrel. Graphically, ermine fur was indicated by a white field dotted with black tails, and squirrel fur was indicated by blue icons, reminiscent of unfolded squirrel skins, on a silver field.

In order to be able to place many figures on the shield and arrange them organically, three divisions of the shield are adopted in heraldry. Vertical division is called dissection, horizontal division is called intersection, and diagonal division is called bevel. These divisions can be combined with each other in a variety of ways, forming parts of the shield. The relationship between the parts of the shield helps to correctly understand the coat of arms.

Coats of arms often contain geometric figures (squares, triangles, rhombuses), animals (lion, eagle), plants (lily, rose), elements of inanimate nature (sun, moon, stars), mythical figures (dragon, centaur, unicorn), humans . Each of them has its own meaning.

2. 3. History of the coat of arms of my city

The first mention of the village of Podolets dates back to 1579. Later the village began to be called Bogorodskoye in honor of the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1923, the village became a city. Badges with the Soviet design of the coat of arms of Bogorodsk are known. (Appendix 1, Fig. 1)

A new version of the coat of arms of Bogorodsk (according to unverified data - approved). Three tanned skins symbolize the tanning industry developed in the city.

By Resolution of the Zemsky Assembly of the Bogorodsky District of the Nizhny Novgorod Region dated April 23, 2004 No. 40 “On consideration of the sketch of the Coat of Arms of the city of Bogorodsk”, the sketch of the Coat of Arms of the city of Bogorodsk, presented by the competition commission for consideration, was approved and recommended for approval by the Heraldic Commission of the Nizhny Novgorod Region and the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod Region. An appendix to this Resolution was a description of the Coat of Arms of the city of Bogorodsk:

“The coat of arms of the city of Bogorodsk is a shield with a given aspect ratio. The plane of the shield is divided in half by a horizontal line into two parts.

At the top of the shield there is a figure of a deer: a walking scarlet deer in a silver field, black antlers and hooves - as a symbol of the city of Bogorodsk belonging to the Nizhny Novgorod region. The lower part of the shield is divided into three vertical parts. The two outer stripes are painted azure (in heraldry azure means beauty, softness, greatness) and represent two rivers - Oka and Kudma, between which the historical area of ​​​​Berezopolye is located. It is symbolized by a wide central green stripe (in heraldry, greenery means hope, joy, abundance).

On the green stripe in the center at the top there is an image of an Orthodox church (silver color, the head and cross are gold), symbolizing the Orthodox essence of the city’s name.

In the lower part of the green stripe, three images of leather (gold) are symmetrically located, as a symbol of leather craft - the original occupation of the inhabitants of Bogorodsk, which became the basis of the well-being of the city and distinguishes it from other cities of the Nizhny Novgorod Province. (Appendix 1. Fig. 2)

In 2010, the City Duma of Bogorodsk approved a new coat of arms of the city. According to the text of the Regulations on the Coat of Arms:

Heraldic description of the coat of arms of the city of Bogorodsk: In a green field with silver edges, a tall Orthodox church with a gold roof, dome and cross with one dome, accompanied below by three gold skins (two and one).

Interpretation of the symbolism of the coat of arms of the city of Bogorodsk: The plane of the shield is divided into three vertical parts. The two outermost stripes of silver color indicate two rivers - Oka and Kudma, between which the historical area of ​​​​Berezopolye is located. It is symbolized by a wide central green stripe. On the green stripe in the center at the top there is an image of an Orthodox church (silver color, the head, roof and cross are gold), symbolizing the Orthodox essence of the city’s name. In the lower part of the green stripe, three images of leather (gold) are symmetrically located, as a symbol of leather craft - the original occupation of the inhabitants of Bogorodsk, which became the basis of the well-being of the city and distinguishes it from other cities of the Nizhny Novgorod Province." (Appendix 1, Fig. 3)

To date, the latest version of the coat of arms of Bogorodsk.

The coat of arms of the city of Bogorodsk is a shield with a given aspect ratio. The plane of the shield is divided in half by a horizontal line into two parts. At the top of the shield there is a figure of a deer: a walking scarlet deer in a silver field, black horns and hooves - as a symbol of the city of Bogorodsk belonging to the Nizhny Novgorod region.

The lower part of the shield is divided into three vertical parts. The two outer stripes are painted azure (in heraldry azure means beauty, softness, greatness) and represent two rivers - Oka and Kudma, between which the historical area of ​​​​Berezopolye is located. It is symbolized by a wide central green stripe (in heraldry, greenery means hope, joy, abundance).

On the green stripe in the center at the top there is an image of an Orthodox church (silver color, the head and cross are gold), symbolizing the Orthodox essence of the city’s name.

In the lower part of the green stripe, three images of leather (gold) are symmetrically located, as a symbol of leather craft - the original occupation of the inhabitants of Bogorodsk, which became the basis for the well-being of the city and distinguishes it from other cities of the Nizhny Novgorod province.

The coat of arms of the Bogorodsky district is based on the coat of arms of the city of Bogorodsk, framed by twelve golden ears of corn, which signify the important role of agriculture in the life of the Bogorodsky district.

The ears of corn are entwined with the ribbon of the Russian flag (tricolor) - a symbol of Russian statehood.

The presence in the image of the coat of arms of the Bogorodsky district of elements of the symbolism of the state, region and city is a symbol of the unity of the Russian state. (Appendix 1, Fig. 4)

3. PRACTICAL PART

3.1. Creating a class coat of arms

It is believed that a properly created coat of arms protects and protects. He is a kind of talisman.

I collected information and processed it on the following topics: “Depiction of animals on the coat of arms”, “What colors may be present in the depiction of the coat of arms”.

This is what I found out: the main figure of the coat of arms is the image of a shield. The internal, still blank space of the depicted shield is called the field of the coat of arms. The field of the coat of arms can be either one color or consist of several color variations.

On the question of how to create a class coat of arms, we can also say that colors occupy a very important place in heraldry; historically, a total of seven of them are used:

• Red - Right, Strength, Courage, Love, Bravery.
• Blue—Glory, Honor, Loyalty, Sincerity.
• Green - Freedom, Jubilation, Hope, Health.
• Black - Constancy, Modesty, Death, Mourning, Peace as “peace”.
• Yellow - Supremacy, Majesty, Respect, Splendor, Wealth.
• White - Purity, Innocence, Wisdom, “Tranquil state of mind.”
• Purple - Power, Supremacy, Dignity, Majesty.

Each animal depicted on the coat of arms has a special meaning and meaning, namely:

• Phoenix is ​​a symbol of immortality.
• Leo—strength, courage.
• Crane - vigilance.
• The double-headed eagle is a symbol of state power, denoting the power and independence of the country.
• The eagle is a source of light, fertility, immortality, a symbol of the sun.
• Dolphin - strength, friendliness, intelligence.
• Fish is an indicator of luck and prosperity.
• Ants, bees - hard work.
• Dragon - greatness, goodness, inviolability.
• Griffin - strength, rage, mercilessness.
• Oak (tree) - eternity.

After studying the information, I got to work. To create my coat of arms I needed:

1. Sheet A3
2. Paints (watercolor and gouache)
3. Markers
4. Pencil, eraser

In the design of my coat of arms, I decided to use the color purple as a symbol of dignity and greatness. She depicted bees on a purple background as a symbol of hard work. I also decided to depict a sun on my coat of arms - a symbol of warm relations in the class. Rainbow is a symbol of joy, fun and friendship. A cloud with rain is a symbol of rare failures. I also drew images on the coat of arms that represent educational subjects in our class. (Appendix 2)

My class and teacher really liked my coat of arms for its colorfulness, positivity and content.

4. CONCLUSION

My assumptions regarding the image of a deer on the coat of arms of Bogorodsk were confirmed. The deer is a symbol of the city of Bogorodsk belonging to the Nizhny Novgorod region.

Working on the chosen topic, I became acquainted with the variety of coats of arms and the rules for their composition. And most importantly, I learned the history of the origin of the coat of arms of my native city. After all, every person should know the history of their city and love it.

The coat of arms is a distinctive sign. Coming up with a coat of arms is not an easy task. After studying its components, I created the coat of arms of my favorite class. It reflects the characteristics inherent in our class.

I want to continue working further and create a coat of arms for my school.
