Senior Anna Henning recently showed some of her artwork at the Kansas City Art Institute’s annual Senior Exhibition. In return, Henning has received a $4,000 scholarship, $1,000 per year, if she attends the Institute next fall.

At the Exhibition, Henning showed a piece called Nostalgia, a sculpture using two masks on willow and cedar wood. As of now, she is working on her AP Art Portfolio. This year, Henning is basing her concentration on the human connection with nature. She has split her 12 pieces into three sections: humans being seperate from nature, their struggle to be natural again and once they’ve reached that equal point. Henning’s portfolio is made up of all different types of pieces ranging from watercolor, pastel, oil, paint, pencil and graphite.

Henning plans on pursuing art in the future, but if that doesn’t work out, she wants to pursue a career in anthropology or archaeology.
