Archives pedagogy lesson: Painting coats of arms

In our will to show our generosity…”

Duration: 60–80 minutes
Target group: ages 10–16
Group size: maximum 30 people

The aim of the lesson is to make the students paint the coat of arms of a Veszprém bishop or a coat of arms they designed themselves. At the beginning of the lesson we briefly present the basic rules and forms of heraldry, then the students are given prepared gypsum plates to design and paint the coat of arms either by hand or by means of heraldic templates. (The students can take away the coats of arms they make.)
