Artist of the Week 9 / 5 / 2018

The 2018 - 2019 School Year is off to an amazing start at the Fisher Mitchell School! It is always a little challenging for me at the start of the year because our hallways are conspicuously empty of beautiful and thought provoking student artworks. Even though there is an expectation that we get new work up quickly, we want to make sure that we are doing Careful, Quality Work.


If you visit our school you will notice a Fisher Mitchell School Family Tree that is visible as you enter the building. Both students and teachers are working on Creative and Artistic pieces to add their names to our tree. Teachers have been asked to make a sign with their name to go below a nest for their class. Students have been asked to create an egg with their name on it to go in their class nest. This is taking a little bit of time to complete because we want to make sure that we are making Careful, Quality Work and because it means I have to manage over 200 pieces of individual artwork! It's a lot of work, but most things that are impressive take a bit of effort!

This will be the third school year that I have worked with the student I am choosing to recognize this week. He is very creative both in his artwork and in his personal style. After looking at all the amazing and very different eggs this student's work continued to stand out to me for his use of Color and Pattern. Congratulations Z. P. in Ms. Hoskins' 5th Grade Class, Artist of the Week for 9 / 5 / 2018!
