Week 5: Day 2

Photography can have multiple (positive impacts) on any organization the photos are in conjunction with.
At the WCAC the photographs being taken have a large impact on the adoption because the photos we have taken as a class make the animals appear more adoptable and friendly. Photography can help to raise awareness of what is going on or the truth about the WCAC without people having to visit, which could then encourage more visitors, which would mean more adoptions!
A personal artistic ability I have is creative and crafty handwriting. By using this skill I would be able to create posters for either the shelter or an event that the shelter was having. The first way I could do this is by creating signs to either put up around the shelter about adoption fees or the rules of the facility. This would add a more pleasent look to the shelter. The other thing I could do is create flyers/posters for any adoption events or other types of events that the shelter is having. These posters would be catchy, colorful, and appealing to the eye, which in return would hopefully attract more individuals to the event.
I think painting would be another form of art for the shelter to use. Volunteer painters could come in and spend time with some of the animals, and then paint portraits of them to be auctioned off to raise money for the shelter. I am not sure who exactly I would collaborate with, but a possible group would be art students at Meredith College or North Carolina State University.

This photo could have a positive impact on the shelter because it makes the cat appear to be more adoptable then the one that was on her sheet.
