NAHS paints bright futures for animals
December 9, 2016
National Art Honor Society took a trip to the Kansas Humane Society on Wednesday. There, they took pictures of unadopted animals to draw them in hopes to help them get adopted.
“[Senior] Hayley Utter came up with the idea and we’re doing another project called the memory project,” National Art Honors Society [NAHS] sponsor Jodee Johnson said. “We’re doing portraits of kids from the Ukraine. She kind of tag-teamed off of that idea only with the animals in order to like put it on social media and advertise them, promote animal adoption.”
National Art Honors Society is an art based community service group that dedicates their time to helping others through their artwork.
“You get to help good causes,” sophomore Krista Phillips said. “We’re drawing little kids right now that are in an orphanage and stuff which is cool.”
Utter said that she is most looking forward to seeing old dogs.
“I love old dogs,” Utter said. “I love them so much so like my focus is going to be like old dogs and trying to get them adopted. I’m excited. It’s going to be sad though seeing all the animals.”
The Humane Society will post the artwork to their websites to get the word out about unadopted animals.
“I’ve never been to the Humane Society,” Johnson said. “I’m really curious to see what it’s like and kind of what animals are there. It’ll be fun to take pictures and really sad to see all these animals.”
