Magical Hogwarts

Welcome to the 2004/2005 Beauxbatons Arts Initiative!

What this is all about ~

The IC background is that students are encouraged to explore different kinds of art and find out where their talents and passions are. The Beauxbatons professors hope to get an opportunity to exhibit pieces of arts and have a show for performances towards the end of the school year to spotlight the students' achievements.
The Beauxbatons staff provides everything needed for the branch of arts of the respective month. That includes material as well as tutorials/classes/practices (whatever is suitable). The professors Böhme (NPC - mostly music/performing arts) and Courtois (visual arts/writing) are available to help the students.


How to participate ~

Just start a thread with “[AI-month]” somewhere at Beauxbatons about your student exploring the arts genre of the month. The students do not have to interact with any of the professors to participate (unless they need material which they can get quite simply by signing a form and renting it - no IC interaction required.)


How to figure out what is the topic of the month ~

This thread will be updated every playtime month, stating which kind of art is featured which month.

There’ll be badges (for when they are up again) for those who post their characters taking part in such an event.
