Morrison High School Art Instructors installed hundreds of pieces of creative endeavors, on behalf of their Kindergarten-through-grade-12 students, during the Spring Art Show. Installed along the Junior High School halls were pieces of art from every student in the school system! The overall impression commanded awe–for the plethora of media being mastered by local youth and the variety of interpretations. The free exhibit is open from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 12, and from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., on Sunday, May 13, 2018.
High praise goes to instructors Stasha Hayes (Northside and Southside Schools), Jamie Harmon (Junior High), and Tony Wright (High School.) Wright recently stated there are few area schools that have an art teacher at every level. Morrison schools cherish the development of creative problem-solving and masterful use of technique, as seen clearly in the students’ exhibits, starting at age five.
Go see for yourself, and be proud.

The top two examples of Aboriginal Art were created by Charley Williams (a yin and yang design superimposed with a curvaceous dragon) and Jaicee Schmidt (a howling wolf superimposed on a vibrant ethnic background. Look closely to see their myriad of paint dots!
