At Majesty’s, the students are sorted into their house via a magic Sorting Paintbrush. On their first day at Majesty’s, the student is given a small canvas and instructed to wet the paintbrush and apply it to the canvas. After the student is finished, their canvas is analyzed and they are sorted into the house whose primary pigment shows up most on the canvas.
The houses students are sorted into are based on their primary reasons for creating art. Although there are certain stereotypes about the students of each house, those stereotypes are no more true than most stereotypes ever are.
The House of Leonardo: Their colours are blue and green. Students placed in Leonardo are ones whose primary reason for creating the art they do is to gain mastery over the established styles of that artform. However, they are no less creative than other students in terms of their subjects. It is a common stereotype that Leonardo students are better leaders and more likely to follow the school rules than students from other houses. The House of Donatello: Their colours are purple and green. Students placed in Donatello are ones whose primary reason for creating the art they do is to push the boundaries of that artform. They are often innovators with new techniques and styles and quite often their pieces are avant-garde. It is a common stereotype that Donatello students are more intellectual and better with technology than students from other houses. The House of Michelangelo: Their colours are orange and green. Students placed in Michelangelo are ones whose primary reason for creating is because they want to make artwork that pleases themselves. They don’t need any more reason than that. It is a common stereotype than Michelangelo students are friendlier and more laid-back than students from other houses. The House of Raphael: Their colours are red and green. Students placed in Raphael are ones whose primary reason for creating the art they do is to use art to send a message. Many of their pieces are political in nature; all of them have something to say to the person viewing (or listening) to them. It is a common stereotype that Raphael students are have hotter tempers and are more intense about their viewpoints than students from other houses.
Teachers and staff are not sorted into Houses unless they also attended Majesty’s. However, students at the special summer session will get the opportunity to be sorted--after all, Majesty’s is set on upholding all its traditions for the summer.
