Gold looked up from the flashing blob of paint on the paper in front of her, pleasantly surprised. She had gotten accustomed to helping others and, in a way, it was expected of her because she was a Prefect.

"Thank you, Professor," she said, politely.

She waved her hand toward some boxes in the front of the room. "The boxes in the front of the room contain all the supplies you'll need, including banner-sized paper, extra paint, and extra paint brushes," she explained. "This project is worth up to 15 house points per student, so be sure to do your best work. The directions," she said, turning toward the board, "are here on the board. You may begin as soon as you're done practicing on the paper." (OOC once again: The following directions are written OOC, but in the roleplay world, Lexi has written nice, in-character directions on the board).

Flashing Paint Charm Banner Project/Homework 3
Please read ALL directions

OOC: This part of the lesson will double as the Charms Lesson 3 Homework. It's worth 15 points and is due on or before July 13 at 11:59 EST. You are definitely free to do the assignment even if you haven't posted in class yet. Just jump on in and roleplay as if your character was here all along, please. You need to actually post your character's banner and paragraph in this thread, since this is an in-class assignment.

- Your assignment is to create a banner showing your support for a Hogwarts house or your favorite Quidditch team. Quidditch banners include both professional teams and Hogwarts house teams. Please roleplay your character making their banner in this thread. You may roleplay as much as you'd like, however, please post your completed banner and 10 sentence paragraph in one post and PM me a link to that post. In your PM, please include:

Username:
Character name/year:
House:
User ID:

- This means you must make a picture or graphic of some sort. You can make one with colors and markers (and scan it or take a picture of it) or you can create a banner on a computerized program such as Paint, Photoshop, GIMP, etc. Your banner does not have to actually be animated or flashing. You can just make a regular, non-moving picture, and we'll just pretend it's flashing and switching and all that jazz.

- The more detailed your picture is, the more points you get. It's worth up to 10 points to make a really nice, detailed picture that appears to have had a lot of thought and care put into it. It's worth another five points to write a 10-sentence long paragraph describing your banner, why you designed it the way you did, what it looks like, etc. Remember to put your finalized banner and paragraph in the same post.

- The beginning of this class (discussion and practicing) was worth five points, so altogether, you have an opportunity to earn 20 points during this class.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Lexi is also roaming around class somewhere. Have fun!

OOC: For clarification, you don't have to wait to post until your banner is ready. You can roleplay your character painting, chatting with others about ideas, talking about what you plan to do, etc. Then when you are ready to post your banner and paragraph, you can.

Gold had dabbed her brush in green paint, made a circle with it at the top left of the paper and, in the process, accidentally dribbled green paint down her PINK! apron. Which obviously did not shock her, because she had expected to make a mess sooner or later.

But now, she had an idea! Setting the brush down on the paper, Gold dried the paint on her apron with the help of her wand, then used it - the wand, not the paint or apron - to tap the blotch of paint. Tap, point, circle, circle. Colorus Fulgeo Green to Red.

Viola! The green paint flashed red!

Hehe.

Now that she had practiced on the paper [and, in the process, on her apron], Gold decided it was finally time to move on to the Banner Project. But first, she was going to figure out how she could possibly use the Paint-Flashing Charm to get a light red colour to flash a brighter red. She knew she could alter the incantation of the spell to acquire the latter shade, but what of the first? She only had one kind of red on ze palette she had. Gold wanted to know how she could she make it lighter.

Clueless.

She was soooo clueless about painting.

Oh, well.
