The students seem to get right to work, which was great! He walked around giving encouraging words and remarks to everyone's stuff. They all were doing a great job. He stopped as a few questions had come up. Again the questions were as great as the hard work they were giving. Quote:

And even better still..he now had something else to look into after class, because it would be sO exciting to have that bunch of facts in store for conversation. Always the best of facts stored up in there. Like how a hummingbird weighed less than a penny. "Would you be able to use it on a temporary tattoo, though, Sir? The stick on ones?"
He took his time to listen closely to what was being said, raising his eyebrow slightly as he wasn't following the topic as well as other people seemed to be. Rooney understood that they could use charms to make things easier, but what did they need paint spells for? He had paint powder and then water to that. And he much preferred the technique of using a brush as opposed to...his wand. But, whatever. Hm.. Moving on..to accomodate where the class was headed, Rooney wiped one of his hands off onto his robes and held his wand again.
So he just had to think of a colour and say the incantation with his shape. Right? But WHAT colour did he want? Blue for Ravenclaw? Red for the heart feelings? Red for Miss Charlotte over there painting her own face and being incredible at it at the same time? Red for Miss Olivia? Red for his sister, Brinlee? No, no. The perfect mixture of the two. A purple. In his head he was hoping it would come out a little more blue than red, as his loyalties did lie with the badge his wore on his chest daily. "Figura triangle!" With the thought of purple in his head and his wand drawing out the three sided shape, it wasn't all too surprising when a purple triangle appeared on his parchment.
Next shape! Next colour! "Yes, it could work on a temporary tattoo." The movement wouldn't last horribly long, but they kids could have fun with it. "Keep practicing on paper first, but I'd say in no time you could try out a temporary tattoo if that's what you want to use it for." He would never discourage the use of charms. Quote:

....And where was she going? With Dante. Ah, well that was understandable. Cornelius would have gone to him to. You know, cool dude...even if he did want Katerina to see HIS painting. He'll have to show her after class.
The problem right now was finger painting. Not the activity itself, but that it was occupying Cornelius' attention. It was much more entertaining than listening to an adult. He did finally look up when a charm was mentioned.
Animatae. Ah, well wasn't that interesting. That meant that his portrait of Mustard the bearded dragon could come alive and dance the Cha-Cha or something.
The Slytherin boy traced the figure of the yellow lizard on his easel as he cast, "Animatae!" He was excited and pumped, and that usually triggered his magic most than any other emotion. As it was, he was far too excited so his painting on twitched a leg, but that was enough to give the curly haired boy the confidence to keep trying.
He paused and glanced up at the professor, green eyes squinting in thought. No, Cornelius did not agree with this charm. Art was something that came from the heart, not magic. Not in painting, at least. Was if something was shaped as a patato? Would you cast 'Figura potato'? Would the charm capture raw emotion like hands did when they were at work? No. Cornelius did not think so. But since this was for fun, he didn't get into the technicalities of it.
Changing to the new parchment, Cornelius waved his wand as he mentally repeated the charm in his head. Once it was set, he cast. "Figura potato!" And with his wand he traced a potato.
Would it work????
As he moved around he noticed an interesting design from a second year. His grin played on his lips as he watched the potato form on the page. "Interesting design Cornelius, but very interesting imagination you have." He was very impressed by the imaginations today. Quote:

What shape should she do? She was torn between drawing a ruby or a heart. Kitty loved rubies and for as long as she could remember she had wanted to own one. But the only ruby in her mansion belonged to her mom. On the other hand, a heart symbolized love, and nothing was more important than love to Kitty - not even her elaborate makeup. But...this was just for fun, right? If she drew a ruby, that didn't mean that she cared more about rubies than love.
Closing her eyes, Kitty imagined the color red. Then she began to draw. She was not certain if she was drawing a ruby or a heart, but either way red was the right color. "Figura Ruby Heart!"
Then she opened her eyes. Walking behind another, this one had a different shape going. He nodded and watched the paper, "Very good job Kitty. Great imagination." The heart was looking good. Quote:

He didn't want to make art with his hands, or with a brush, or a pencil, or with his wand. He just wanted to learn magic in peace and away from art and sports. He had gone through those things in Muggle school, and he was tired of them. He had done his waiting! TWELVE YEARS OF IT!
It was bad enough the Muggle Studies professor had given him failing marks for that particular class, just because he couldn't doodle. The last thing he wanted was to end up with failing marks in Charms for the same stupid reason. The small boy cast a rather grumpy look after the professor as he went by, then picked up his wand again. This spell seemed easy enough, even if he didn't like it because it was being given to him in the context of art.
"Figura circle," he said rather flatly, tracing a small circle over top of the canvas. A little grey circle appeared, and he directed his wand to another spot. "Figura circle."
Small grey circle after small grey circle appeared, with Jaemin moving his wand after each to create the next. Soon the twitchy handprint was surrounded.
"Is there a way to decide whether they turn up hollow or filled in?" he asked aloud, tracing another dull grey circle on the palm of the hand. If it had had hopes of moving before, it probably wouldn't anymore. "What a very good question Jaemin and it leads right into our next charm we will learn today." He nodded at his work as well. Very good job, all of them. "So Jaemin just asked a great question. He asked how we could make the circle filled if we wanted. That is very easy and a charm you can use for different things." Going back to his paper he pointed his wand to the center of the circle, "Colovaria" The circle filled in with green. "Now this charm can work on an entire wall, a blank paper, your hair, the cat, or whatever you want to change. I do not advise you to change other people's hair without asking though." He wanted that to be known.
Walking back around the room he glanced at Blaise to make sure he was doing his work and it seemed like he was. Triangles, yes that would work. "Now take some time to fill in one of your shapes or try for the background of your picture. You could also take out another parchment to make it a solid color." Any of these worked as long as they were working.
