A sincere artist is not one who makes a
faithful attempt to put on to canvas
what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something
which is,in itself, a living thing.

Tanna set up her classroom in the first few weeks she arrived back at the castle and was now waiting on the corner of her desk for her new set of Sixth Years. Seeing them arrive she greeted them with a smile and waited for them to take their seats before she began. "Hello and welcome to Art IV and congratulations on your excellent OWL scores! To start the class I thought we'd like to do a bit of background before the fun begins. As you know this year will be about sculpting so before we jump right in, lets learn about the different mediums." She went over to her chalkboard and began to write out the different sculpture types before turning to face her small class.
"Sculpture is a wide branch of art encompassing many different kinds of three-dimensional work. They can be designed for outdoor usage in a garden or public display or exclusively for indoors. Artists can make sculptures from anything at hand, including sand, food and recyclables. However the main mediums are:
Clay: a versatile medium in sculpting. It can be the medium to build a finished product, or to make molds for other media. Clay sculptures include small objects that need to be fired in a kiln.
Steel: welded together can create large or small sculptures. Sculptors create public art form steel as well as artistic candle holders and table top displays.
Stone: People have carved stone for centuries to create sculptures. Italian artist Michelangelo chiseled a piece of marble into the 17-foot statue of David.
Wax: Wax museums feature realistic models of famous people created from wax. Beeswax can be carved with the same tools as clay or wood.
Glass: Artists can blow heated glass to create sculptures. Broken shards of glass can also be fused to build sculptures, with or without the addition of other sculpture media.
Ice: Ice carvings can be elaborate pieces of functional art as seen in the ice hotels of Sweden or Quebec. Smaller blocks of ice also become decorative centerpiece sculptures for weddings or other events.
Wood: Artists carve wood into sculptures. Some artists carve exclusively with a chain saw to create elaborate wooden sculptures while others use more precise tools to carve and shape the wood. Wood also often serves as a base for other sculpted material.
Recycled Material: Artists can create assemblage art from discarded materials. Artists have used automobile parts, broken clocks, household items and tools to build sculptures of all sizes.
And finally, Food: Chocolate sculptures are temporary pieces of art that can serve as centerpieces for special events. Food sculptor Jim Victor has used butter, pepperoni, peanut brittle and cheese to create statues.
Now for today I'd like you to take a look around at the different sculptures and mediums I have placed around the classroom and find the one you think you'd most be interested in working with. Also, by the by, I know how much chocolate I have stashed in case anyone decides to get any ideas." Tanna chuckled.

Tanna waited behind her desk reading one of her many art magazines while absentmindedly rubbing small circles on her enlarged stomach. In a little under a month she'd be entering her third trimester but even so she looked like she was already in the midst. Still, it was the sort of thing you'd expect with being pregnant with multiples. When she looked up and saw that her class was there and waiting she grinned a tad sheepishly and stood up to go over to the board to write, Sculpting Enchantments.
"Hello all, we have a rather fun lesson for today! For the past few weeks you all have been working hard and diligently with whatever medium you so choose and I'm so happy and excited for all your hard work. And now we've come to the final stretch, the last thing you can add to your artwork: an enchantment. For those of you who haven't completely finished your sculpture or would rather not practice on their artwork, I have plenty of small sculptures you could use for this spellwork." As usual, she had one of her older NEWT students standing near the back awaiting her call and when she smiled and nodded towards them they came to the front while she grabbed a small bear sculpture and placed it on an empty desk for the class to see. "This spell requires a bit more wand work than the others so please pay attention. In order to completely enchant your art you must point your wand at the desired sculpture. make clockwise circle (not too big), and end with a sharp point at the sculpture all while saying the words, 'Motus liberi.'" Tanna looked at her student expectantly and watched them correctly do the spell and clapped happily as the small bear began to blink and shake off imaginary water while stalking around the desk looking for food. Too precious. "And for added benefit, if you would like to stop your sculpture from moving just tap it and say, 'Statur Motus.'" And just doing as she said, the student tapped the small moving bear saying the words and watched as hit froze back into a stationary sculpture. "Great job! Your note is on the desk and your extra credit shall be added by the end of the day." she told her NEWT student who grinned and nodded before exiting the classroom. "Now that you've seen how it works, go ahead and give it a try. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."

As soon as Lexine walked into the art classroom so early in the morning, carrying a travel mug of hot tea, she took a seat next to Alice. "Hey Alice," She murmured, blowing gently on her tea. "How was your summer? We didn't get to catch up on the train...or on the carriage rides...or, well...anywhere else." Lexine smiled a bit sheepishly. "S'ppose that was my own fault though, wasn't it?" She chuckled a bit before Professor Hawthorne started her lecture on mediums of sculpting. She began writing down notes as the professor spoke of each different medium. As she thought about it, Lexine decided that glass would probably be one of the more interesting mediums to work with. Plus, glass sculptures were always so beautiful. It was amazing someone could do so much with something like that.
Once the professor was done, Lexine knew exactly what she was thinking of working with...of course, was the school really going to let her blow glass? Wasn't that a bit dangerous? Pretty sure Quidditch is probably quite dangerous...and I am in a school of wizards, aren't I? We've learned spells to shoot a jet of fire... Merlin's beard, how Hogwarts hasn't burned down yet is a mystery... Lexine bit down on her lip, leaning back a bit as she took a long sip of tea. She began her rounds around the room, looking at the different mediums. She hoped that, despite her favouring glass at the moment, they were all going to be able to work with more than one medium, if not all of them. It would certainly get boring working with the same thing over and over again...

And their grass is getting greener each day,
I know things are looking up, but soon they'll take us down,
Before anybody's knowing our name

Kenny had come in late to the last class, and made it a point to come in early this lesson. He'd taken a look at the various mediums provided, and while part of him was curious about certain forms of sculpture, he wasn't that big of one. He could always try his hand, though. He looked over the materials again, trying to envision one of them working for him. He could always try assembling something, but he wasn't sure what. Though, he could always do carving. He had been around knives for quite a while, from Steffi back in the orphanage, to Jer and his assorted knives that he'd somehow snuck into the school. He'd gotten several of them for a birthday gift, and had one in his pocket right now. Sharp objects never bothered him as a result. He made his way over to the carving station and eyed a piece of wood. It seemed simple enough. Kind of like whittling. Before he knew it, he seated himself and was now holding a block of wood in his hands. Running his hands over it, he tried to envision what it could turn into. Shrugging however, he just pulled out his knife, checked the edge, and set to work. Whatever it was going to be, it would eventually show itself. He just had to coax it out.

Do you think I'm special? Do you think I'm nice?
Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?
Between the noise you hear, and the sounds you like
Are we just sinking in an ocean of faces?

Tanna waited behind her desk reading one of her many art magazines sometimes pausing to write little annotations in the margins. Her eyes strayed towards the picture she kept on her desk of all her boys grinning up at her with her husband making their chubby little hands wave to her. It was so adorable and she was pretty sure she had about a thousand pictures of her family in her office because of it. She loved her job but she hated that she would sometimes meet the little things with her family because of work. She was happy that she could go home on the weekends and she had all summer to make up for it, but it wasn't quite the same. When she looked up and saw that her class was there and waiting she grinned a tad sheepishly and stood up to go over to the board to write, Sculpting Enchantments.
"Hello all, we have a rather fun lesson for today! For the past few weeks you all have been working hard and diligently with whatever medium you so choose and I'm so happy and excited for all your hard work.

As usual, she had one of her older NEWT students standing near the back awaiting her call and when she smiled and nodded towards them they came to the front while she grabbed a small puppy sculpture and placed it on an empty desk for the class to see. "This spell doesn't require too much wandwork but a lot of concentration so please pay attention to what you're doing. Simply tap the sculpture with your wand saying the words, 'Statua Mobil.'" Tanna looked at her student expectantly and watched them correctly do the spell and clapped happily as the small puppy who blinked slowly then began wagging its tail and pouncing around the desk looking for something to play with. Too precious. "This spell lasts indefinitely so please choose a statue that is non-hazardous and not dangerous to yourself or the rest of the class" She said looking at the puppy who seemed to bark in affirmation of her words. "Great job! Your note is on the desk and your extra credit shall be added by the end of the day." she told her NEWT student who grinned and nodded before exiting the classroom. "Now that you've seen how it works, go ahead and give it a try. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."
