Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Three of the project's goals are: 1) Supporting artists and arts organizations in creating, producing and presenting high-quality arts activities. 2) Supporting high-quality, age-appropriate arts education for residents of all ages to develop knowledge, skills, and understanding of the arts. 3) Instilling the arts into the community and public in our region. One way to show goal achievement is the product itself; students will have the opportunity to create a motionpoem and share it with others. Another way to show goal achievement will be a survey which students will complete before and after the residency.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Approximately 50 films were made. 2. 50% of students indicated they like poetry better than they did before the project. 3. 51% of students report that they now know at least one poem they like and can connect to (up from 18% in the pre-survey). 4. 42% of students now feel that poetry is important and connects them to others. 5. 70% of students reported they feel confident they can make a short film and share with others.
