Elwood walked infront of the paintings and their eyes followed her.
"Their eyes are as realistic as possible with the materials used at the time of their creation but as many of you have probably learned from a Potions Lesson a few terms ago that the photograph or painting is charmed to be like the person it represents; so if you are having trouble figuring out color based on the physical representation, ask them." They were obviously more than ready to talk. She HAD gone to the less travelled parts of the Castle.
"Any other questions?" If there were none they could now start. "What I want you to do is come pick a painting and begin interacting with it trying to pick up on they're eye color, eye size, spacing/placement, and twinkle or dullness. Once you've done that I would like you to make an inference on your parchment about what the artist was trying to say about their subject's personality."
Okay, so this didn't seem all that difficult or time-consuming. Sierra rummaged through her bag and came out with a fresh piece of parchment, some ink, and a quill. She got all the materials set up on her desk, dipped her quill in ink, and then surveyed the portraits.
Sarah Fairbanks.
She chose the young witch, because the girl was closest in age to Sierra. She felt like maybe she could relate to her a little more. Well, except that Sarah was just a portrait and Sierra so obviously wasn't. She wouldn't say that last part out loud, though...
"Hello, Sarah," she said.
"I'm Sierra, and I'm seventeen-years-old." Erm...so what now?
"Sorry if it looks like I'm staring. We're doing an assignment on your eyes..." Did that sound polite? Sierra hoped so. The last thing she wanted to do was anger a portrait she was using to earn class points.
While Sierra waited for the portrait to speak, she took a few notes of her own.
- Eyes are in between average-sized and large-sized
- Eyes are wide open
- Eyes appear to be hazel with a mixture of gold in them
- Eyes appear to be sparkling, as if Sarah was happy
- Eyes seem vivid and lively
