Where have I been, you ask?

Well, let me tell you this completely hypothetical story.

Let's say that a very handsome young teacher at a rather prestigious school was working hard to grade his wonderful students' assignments, that were impressive and FULL OF PASSION! ALAS! He notices too late that a scoundrel had stolen his ever-precious journal, thereby taking away his ability to communicate with his beloved students!! But as this hypothetical man scoured his office to locate said journal, he found traces of one of his beloved masterpieces DESTROYED AND VANDALIZED!!!

Now, this hypothetical man, fueled by the flames of revenge, began his ongoing hunt for the terrible vandal that took his prized painting of his beloved wife and DREW A MUSTACHE ON IT!!!!

YOU JUST WAIT, YOU LITTLE SNOT!!

*A scribble on the page where he had to stop himself*

((His muse waits until now to speak up at all. Weirdo. Assume we did do the assignment from before, I apologize for letting Piros be quiet for so long.))

Current Mood: angry

[Piros charges through the hallways... dressed in that GOLDEN SUIT OF ARMOR he keeps in his office. Despite the SHEER IMPRACTICALITY of the armor, he can run rather swiftly in it, despite every step he takes crashing loudly against the floor like a minor explosion. It glitters magnificently and deflects the falling debris effortlessly, and it even seems to be LIGHTING UP at his chest, making his red glasses glow fiercely. Or is that lamely? He stops at the sight of the dragons, and roars...]

"WHAT BLASPHEMY IS THIS?? YOU BEASTS, HOW DARE YOU LAY YOUR CLAWS ON THE MAGNIFICENCE OF THIS CASTLE!!"

[The dragon, though certainly a good distance away, casts its gaze temporarily on this glittering piece of metal.]

"HUMPH! I have no name to give to beasts!! Like a wild eagle with broken wings..."

[And with that, Piros the 3rd poses ridiculously, pointing towards the sky.]

"The magnificent eagle man of blue cloudy weather, Piros the 3rd, will not permit this madness further!! Ahahah! No living creatures shall become a victim!!"

[And for ever so brief a second, the dragon seemed to express with its face an extreme dislike of said noisy piece of scrap. Piros the 3rd ran from the dragon, towards some of the destruction, to seek any students caught in the debris.]

Current Mood: irate

I apologize for taking so long.

But REALLY. So little homework was done. And if you want to remove your character from the list altogether, say so on the sign-up sheet.

( Grades )
You may talk to your teacher about his comment or your grade. The GOLDEN GOOD WORK STAMP isn't at all a marker of average work. It's his way of giving you praise without having a comment.

From now on, his assignments will be given on a Tuesday and will be due on the following Monday. SO DON'T FORGET THEM.

O = Outstanding ; E = Exceeds Expectations ; A = Acceptable ; P = Poor ; D = Dreadful ; T = Troll
X = NOT TURNED IN
If FAIL is written, it means it wasn't turned in. Not that you trolled it.

Bwahahah! The voting is in! These students need to come to me for a brief but informative modeling lesson!!

Death the Kid, Alfred Freedom Jones, you boys tied in the votes, so you will both model on behalf of men!!

Miss Natalia, you shall be displaying the elegant beauty of a strong woman for your classmates!!

Bwah hah hah hah hah! Prepare to draw your classmates, my students, for we will be working on it for a few days!

May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!!

((I know, I know, I still need to do your grades. I've been a bit busy, and tagging has taken up a bit. Don't worry, they'll come. Still no homework, just classwork and pointing and laughing at your unfortunate classmates. There will be a classwork post in a few days when the models are done being trained.))

Current Mood: excited

I am astonished at how few volunteers we had for modeling before the class!! As a result... I have selected a few more students for you all to select from!

Both models will receive full credit for the assignment as well as extra credit, to make it worthwhile!

The male candidates are;
Tamaki, Saralegui, Wolfram, Death the Kid, and ALFRED FREEDOM JONES!

The female candidates are;
Natalia, Galinda, Tohru, Abby, and Renge!

In light of this project, I will not give homework for this week and I will grant my students - both general arts and art history - one more day to complete their assignments!!

May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!

((There were so few volunteers that PIROS HAD TO PICK SOME. Or listen to some kids talking about how attractive others are *coughYuuricough* to select more candidates. IC voting is acceptably hilarious, ooc voting is fine.))

Current Mood: cheerful

Ooooh, you kids with your good eyes~ ♥

A dance for the youthful~ How cute~ A beautiful memory for your young lives~!

I think I may paint while I wait to hear from my cute little students~

May the stars shine upon you~~~

((Yes, he's being cheesy. No, he's not drunk. He's just weird. Anyway. Don't forget homework. AND WE HAVE NO FEMALE VOLUNTEERS. If there are no volunteers, THEN HE WILL PICK.))

Current Mood: artistic

I, the magnificent Piros the 3rd, have looked once more on the beautiful art that you, my students, have submitted to me!! And it has been decided~!

In two weeks, we will have live models to work from!! Don't worry, they won't be nude. :) That's not until you get OUT of Hogwarts~!

But I believe that we should strengthen our bonds in the classroom!! We shall be drawing each other!!! So I will need a group of volunteers to be voted on next week, and the chosen female and male will both pose the following week!!

So!! Come forth, and volunteer!!

May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!!

( homework here )

Current Mood: enthralled

Ah, my wonderful students have submitted beautiful artwork!! It's invigorating!! In class, we'll begin working with charcoal! The rest of our supplies are coming in tomorrow!

Current Mood: accomplished

BWAHAHAHAH!!

If my assistance is needed, I will guide our guests through the castle personally!!

My students!! Forget not that your homework is due tomorrow, and that tonight is last call for turning in grades!!

May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!!

((HOMEWORK IS DUE TOMORROW. GET IT DONE.))

Current Mood: excited

Bwah hah hah hah hah!! What an exciting show of sportsmanship!! I feel... rekindled!! Bwah hah hah, the artwork I am receiving from you students is just the same...!!! It makes me burn passionately!!

My assignment is due next monday, since some of you have not yet completed it! Worry not, because even uncompleted artwork can give you full credit!

As for the essay... I'm surprised at how many of you are so intrigued by the subject! I have enjoyed reading the ones that have already been submitted to me!!

May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!

((Homework. He's serious about the art stuff. It can be a sketch or a WIP. As long as effort's put in, he'll acknowledge it for a grade. I'm missing a lot of people for the homework. It's not due until monday, and I will remind you again on Sunday, but here's your first reminder. So do your homework, childrens.))

Current Mood: amused

My class is growing so quickly!! Hahahah, that fills me with joy and pride!

I have my first assignment for you! Something simple, of course, to show me what you are all capable of! For my General Arts students, we will be starting with pencil and paper, while the remainder of the supplies are being delivered!

Our assignments will only require more and more passion from hereon out!! Prepare yourselves!

Show me your passion, my students!

--------
General Arts Assignment:

All Years: Using pencil and sketching paper, draw the "thing that represents your passion". No other limitations.

Art History Assignment:

All Years: Write a brief (one page) report on the cave paintings

Rules:

1. Write your character's FULL NAME, YEAR, and HOUSE
2. Write a brief description on how they did, OR, for the general arts students, you can post artwork instead.
3. Everyone will be graded rather laxly, but expect some critique from your teacher. This is definitely a more involved class.
4. Your assignment is due NEXT WEEK, Monday the 9th of March

Reply with:
Name:
Year:
House:
Class: (Art History or General Arts)
How well they did/image sample:
How much EFFORT they put in: (this is the one that really determines the grade)

Current Mood: calm

I have not even formally introduced myself, and yet, I have received submissions for my classes!! BWAHAHAH! But that is to be expected of such fiery and passionate students!!! Come, I will bestow upon you the ability to pour your passion into your artwork!!!
ASK NOT MY NAME!! FOR NO MORTAL MAY KNOW IT!!
BWAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!! I AM... THE SLOW DOBERMAN, PIROS THE 3RD!!! TADA~!!

Ask anything of me!! I, Piros the 3rd, will bestow upon you my knowledge as the great Dumbledore himself wished for it!!

For my new students, I will assign nothing, but I would like to see whatever your talented hands can create if you can muster the fire to fuel your artistic demons!!

((Yep. KP finally got a crazy. Sign up for his class, plz. There's two sections, one for art and another for art history. Just to get a good variety of students. So yeah. Here's your mix of Femio and Gai. He'll use the sparkletext SPARINGLY after this. 8| Sign up for his class, k?))
