A Shade On School Mascot Murals

By Carl Jackson


Every institution has a way of creating its traditions, be it annual events or by using paintings. Similarly, school mascot murals have been there for a long time and are used to preserve the history of the school. Since most people must spend a quadrant of their life in academic institutions, it is depicted as a home away from home thus these students need to find peace and comfort.

Usually, most learning institutions have graphics painted on walls. These paintings are usually unique, efficient and act as an effective way of communication to the students. These graphics are used in the learning of these students because brains tend to process visual images way faster than written text. Also, many people find images to be more attractive than text thus their memory will be high.

The good-luck-pieces on the wall usually support the collective identity of an institution. It creates a sense of belonging and attachment to the place thus giving a personal motivation. Just like the way people identify themselves with their ethnicity, age-groups, and citizenship, the school mascots act as a collective identity for students.

The graphics are a good way of building the name of a institution, its pride, and spirit. All the identifiers of the academy such as logos, colors, slogan, and motto are unique icons that the institution attaches itself with. More so, the paintings show how the institution carries itself regarding pride and integrity. An institution with high standards makes students find learning to be more interesting.

Another important factor is that the graphics usually promotes sportsmanship. Sports are huge events that bring people together especially in the learning institutions. Sports represent a tie to all these students no matter the differences in their grades, classes and even their focus on study. The wall symbols become motivating slogans to do well in sports and bolster the unity of these students.

Culture, ethics, and values are an important attribute to most organizations as well as academic institutions. These help the leaner to uphold the standards of these school and create a legacy for the academy. They help to shape the characters and personal attributes of a student, as well as their morals and attitude towards problem-solving hence they become better people.

Usually, one feels nostalgic towards the places that he/she had the best time. Academies are places to create memories because the mascot or murals can stick to the mind of a person for a long time. The story of the institution can be vividly told from the visuals. The students find them memorable even after a long time out of the institution.

The visuals usually create a lifelong impact since they act as a useful tool for effective communication. The murals shape the characters of the students positively thus making them better people in future. Apart from education, morals, problem-solving skills, relation skills and many other important attributes are some of the things that students gain from the learning institutions.
