Every year, National Art Honor Society is given one huge task; paint four, four feet by three feet canvases themed to Brantley on Broadway. This year Heathers, Waitress, Beauty and the Beast and Bring it On were all remade. Senior Zackary Dettmer led the club in outlining, working on the beginnings of what would become a “Beauty and the Beast” portrait. After the pencil outlines are finished, other artists tag team a canvas, using gobs of acrylic paint and colorful references to recreate the PlayBill feel. Brantley on Broadway is held between the 17th and 19th of April, but the club wants to get a head start. Alysha Cirino, President of National Art Honor Society, knows the consequences of a late start. “We are starting extra early this year, so we have the wiggle room to mess up.” Cirino said, “Last year we did a woman in red, it came off demonic, so we went over it completely in blue.”

Sophomores Kallie Barnach and Sara Ottway are first year members of Art Honor Society. They decided to team up and work on the “Bring it On” canvas. To capture the motion of a jumping dancer, colors are mixed to have lighter blues and darker reds to show shadow and light. “It is kind of hard to see because there is a glare,” says Ottoway, “I just fear as I am painting it that I will accidently mess it up.”
