Pet Portraits with Whitney Bucher

July 22, 2025 @ 10:00 am - July 24, 2025 @ 1:00 pm

Calling all animal lovers and budding artists! In this unique camp, students will learn basic photography skills and practice taking portraits of real adoptable dogs from the Joplin Humane Society. After selecting their favorite snapshot, they’ll transform it into a vibrant oil pastel portrait. Each student’s photo and artwork will be professionally documented, with prints gifted to JHS to accompany each dog on their adoption journey. Camp participants will additionally create a portrait of either their own dog, or their favorite dog.

Whitney Bucher is an experienced educator with over 13 years of teaching in the classroom and a strong background in both art and special education. She holds a Master’s in Art Education and a Master’s in Special Education, and currently teaches art in the Carl Junction R-1 School District. Whitney first taught at Spiva in 2011 while studying at Missouri Southern State University and is excited to return to share her love of creativity with new students.
