The Jonathan Law National Art Honor Society is looking forward to the upcoming year. 

The NAHS is a club run by art teacher Mrs. Murphy. The purpose of this club is to support its members to bring art education to the school and community. 

The NAHS has multiple events planned this year that the members are very excited about. Some of the events they have planned for this year are a new stepping stairwell and the students are planning something for the new Teaching and Learning Commons. 

This year, the group will work with the Milford Education Foundation to create a chair with a theme so they can raffle it off for student scholarships. Members are especially excited to be working on the stairwell. 

“This year we have a lot of plans for what we’re going to do,” senior Tess Rosato said. “Were going to paint another stairwell, were going to do some murals in the TLC and some at West Shore , were going to have our henna tattoo fundraiser so i’m just really excited to do all of that.”

The students are  excited to be a part of this club that gives back to their community.  

“I like it because it’s a good way for the art students to express themselves and practice art around the school and in the community,” senior Julia Bolcer said. 

Many students got involved in this club to share their passion for art and better themselves as an artist. It’s also a safe place to share ideas with each other and interact. 

“I enjoy doing art in school and interacting with other people,” senior Katrina Jakab said. 

The NAHS gifts members with the ability to have a setting where students can come and assist their community. The club is very united.

“Everyone in the club has a passion for art and I think we all just like to do things for the school and for ourselves to participate in the art culture here at Law,” junior Rachna Vipparla said.

Students are glad to have the NAHS so they can express their creative outlet.

The National Art Education Association (NAEA)  began the NAHS in 1978 to inspire and recognize students who had the skill and interest in the visual arts.  The NAHS aspire to assist its members in attaining the highest standards in art scholarship, character and service . 

Murphy has been advisor of this club for four years. Since NAHS is an honor society, students have to apply, show previous artwork, and write an essay to join. 

“I think it’s a great organization for artist in this school to come together and talk about art and participate,” Murphy said.
