What Your Painting Style Says About Your Inner Hogwarts House

"Harry's Flight" is a favorite painting amongst Harry Potter fans here at ArteVino! When paired with a heated tournament of Harry Potter Trivia, the true wizard-fans around Cranford always come out to join us!

It's fun to imagine what it would be like to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry after reading the Harry Potter series. The lure of the magic spells, moving paintings and the grumpy-faced Sorting Hat that will tell you exactly to which social group you will belong—it's enchanting to say the least!

That explains why most of us have seen some sort of social media quiz that gives fans a chance to know what House would the Sorting Hat put YOU in if you went to Hogwarts. Our post takes a bit of a new spin on this idea by applying some general principles of visual psychology.

In our classes, our artists will walk everyone through the same painting steps, but somehow all the finished products always have their own spin to it!

Look at these 4 paintings of "Harry's Flight" (before scrolling down to see the answers!) and decide which one looks most like how YOU would paint it.

1. (the painting on the left)

2. (the painting on the right)

1. If you chose painting #1, you are probably a Slytherin! 

The Slytherin house is known for being cunning and resourceful. One could say this painter did what was necessary by following our outline of Harry and the buildings, but he/she sure put a an ambitious and determined spin on it!! Slytherin's love to be in charge -- who would expect a Slytherin to follow the instructions to the T?

2. If you chose painting #2, you are probably a Hufflepuff!

Hufflepuffs are known for their loyalty and dedication to one another. They strive for what is just and equal and always do what is nice. This painter went out of her way to paint in Harry's 2 other friends flying next to him, even though they were not in the original tracing. What a fair, loyal, Hufflepuff thing to do!

3. If you chose painting #3, you are probably a Ravenclaw!

Those who value brains over brawn are true Ravenclaws! This painting has careful, logical brush strokes, cleverly varied stars in the sky, and the figure itself appears to be flying "above the curve," just like a Ravenclaw who would strive to be wise! 

4. If you chose painting #4, you are probably a Gryffindor!

Gryffindor's are known for their bravery and spirit of adventure! That's probably why this little Harry Potter figure is right in the middle of the storm! Who ever G.P. is went big and bold with his signature and his storm -- just like the nerve of a Gryffindor!
