Three little birds sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Tanna was always excited to deal with her seventh years even though it was rather bittersweet knowing that this would be her last year with them. 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. 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.
"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.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Tanna walked into her art classroom and plopped onto one of the many comfortable poufs on the floor while she waited for her students to come inside. Once they were all in and comfortable she began.
"Hello all! I hope that you're all hard at work studying for your NEWT's in your other classes so that you can enjoy today's lax lesson. Today will be one of our many game days, Name That Painting! I will be describing to you a painting and you will tell me its name and who painted it for house points. Bonus points will be awarded if you can tell me the period it was painted it!
Our first painting is one of the most well known in the world and while known commonly by a name, it's original name is usually forgotten which is The Company of captain Frans Banning Cocq and lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburch preparing to march out. Rather long name right? Well it matches because the painting itself is rather use, an unusual occurrence during the time period, which was the peak of the Dutch Golden Age. C'mon, I gave major spoilers here!" Tanna laughed as she urged her students to guess.

Siobhan'Hannah'Grey
Hufflepuff Prefect │ Seventh Year │ Seventeen Years Old │ Single
Hannah had been studying art for much of the summer, and she recognized the painting when it she saw it. "It's usually referred to as 'Night Watch', Professor Hawthorne," she answered, after raising her hand. "Although, the name's not really accurate, because the only reason people thought the scene took place at night was because of the dark varnish which was used after Rembrandt painted it. It is one of the most famous paintings from the Dutch Golden Age, and is noted for symbolizing the unity between Dutch Protestants and Catholics, which I'd say was pretty unusual, during the Dutch War of Independence. The painting is also known for its huge size, the figures are almost life-sized in the original, the effective use of tenebrism, and the perception of motion in what would normally be a pretty static subject." Hannah felt pretty pleased she was able to dredge up that bit of information from her studies over the summer.

Siobhan'Hannah'Grey
Hufflepuff Prefect │ Seventh Year │ Seventeen Years Old │ Single
Hannah had been doing a lot of practice during her free time and Art Club, the latter was a nice way to really have fun and try out things she might not be comfortable doing in class or for her NEWT. She'd given her younger sister pointers on the painting enchantment, as it was not an easy Charm to master, owing to all the things it was capable of.
The Seventh Year decided to create a painting of the cousin whom had grown into the role of her older sister, Selina, accompanied by Lugh and Cuchulain, her faithful Irish Wolfhounds, knowing Professor Hawthorne would instantly recognize her former student from the likeness. She created a scene where she was hugging the two dogs and laughing while they gave her face a tongue-bath. It was certainly a not-so-serious vignette, but it was a candid look at somebody whom usually tried so hard to show herself to be so serious all the time.
As Hannah worked, she smiled and hummed a soft tune as the time passed quickly and the image came into being, making it as photo-realistic as she could with her materials. When she ready, Hannah cast the Charm, and was rewarded with an animated scene of her older cousin, catching her in an unguarded moment, where she was getting licked by her two dogs. She couldn't help but smile and chuckle at the image, having seen it for real many times before.

Fianna Grey
Gryffindor │ Seventh Year │ Seventeen Years Old │ Single
It was kinda depressing for Fianna to think she wouldn't be here in Art Class after this year. She adored Professor Hawthorne and loved to make thing; the class also gave her a chance to relax a little, given some of the other classes she took were pretty serious in terms of workload and effort required. This was why she was here, even though she had no plans to be an artist like her older sister did, she liked it here because it was fun. Upon arriving, she set a basket full of homemade preserves and baked goods from Mother Grey's kitchen. "Hi, Professor," she said sunnily. "Did you get to do anything fun over the summer?"
As class got started, Fianna sat down in one of the poufs, and relaxed while setting work on a sketch. Just for fun, she decided to start drawing a sketch of her cat.

 Turn your magic on, to me she'd say
"Everything you wants a dream away
We are legends, every day"
That's what she told me

"Everything you wants a dream away
Under this pressure, under this weight
We are diamonds"
