Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tanna was always excited to deal with her seventh years. She was dealing with older and more experienced students and she would treat them as such. For this year there would be no real lesson plans, just lessons that help review for their NEWT's, she thought they'd appreciate that at least. As it were she only had a handful in this class so instead of desks there were soft poufs to sit upon with lap pads in case they wanted to sketch during the hour along with buckets of clay with pottery wheels and other mediums set up around the room. Class time was going to be used to practice or perfect their favorite or at least the ones they weren't too comfortable with. "Hello and welcome to Art V. I'm so proud of you guys for sticking with this for so long and I'm happy to report that you're nearly at the end of a long and colorful tunnel. Since you're seventh years and on the fast track to your NEWT's at the end of this school term I thought you would appreciate having a few hours each week to perfect your skills for the test. So for today I'd like you to review your sketching. Lines, shading, structure, everything! And for added instruction, I'd like for you to go out and draw something personal to you. It could be a place, an object, a person, anything! So have fun and lets get sketching!" Tanna clapped happily and laughed.

Tanna was always excited to deal with her seventh years and this year was more bittersweet than the others. These seventh years have been with her since her first year teaching and she was going to be sad to see them go. But she was going to suck it up and not allow her feelings to get into the way of her teaching...for now. For this year there would be no real lesson plans, just lessons that help review for their NEWT's, she thought they'd appreciate that at least.

I'm so proud of you guys for sticking with this for so long and I'm happy to report that you're nearly at the end of a long and colorful tunnel. Nearly all of you I've had since I started teaching here, which to you seems like a million years ago, and I want you to know h-how special you all are to me and know how much I'm going to miss you all once you've graduated." Tanna had to pause for a few seconds to dab her eyes with a handkerchief before she started back again with a ready grin.

Tanna walked back into the art classroom and plopped onto one of the cushioned poufs on the floor while she waited for her class. When everyone was situated and comfortable she began.
"Hello hello! I hope you all had fun last week with your sketch review because you'll be doing it again this week only with painting. For today's work and this week's homework I want you to create a portrait of someone close to you and then enchant it. If you cannot recall the spell used to enchant paintings, its 'Verum hic pingit' and all the wand movement needed is soft swish and point. I look forward to seeing your hard work!" Tanna grinned and shooed them over to the painting supplies.

Tanna walked back into her classroom which was this time absent of the comfortable plush pillows and now had different sculpting tools set int he middle. She waited until everyone was situated inside before she grinned and started. "Welcome to another day! Last time we reviewed painting and painting enchantments so this week we'll be going over sculpting. By this time next week all you'll have to do is review for your NEWT's and then you'll be on your way to being fully fledged adult wizards. Isn't that exciting?! Anyway, for today's review you can use any of the mediums previously discussed in class, glass, wood, ice, food, metal, etc., and make a sculpture of something or someone you will miss at Hogwarts. You could sculpt the the Great Hall, or your bedroom in your dorm, the Quidditch pitch, anything at all. You may start and when you're finished you may leave but if you get stuck please see me. Have fun guys!" she laughed and went over to her desk where she had paperwork beginning to pile up and have babies.

Class time was going to be used to practice or perfect their favorite or at least the ones they weren't too comfortable with. Her only real worry that she had was whether or not she would be able to get up from the poufs if she sat down in one."Hello and welcome to Art V.
