The quantitative outcomes proposed are that 5 Artist Mentors will work with 75 middle school students assisted by 10 High School interns with a final Community Showcase attended by an audience of 250+ at Hope Academy. The qualitative outcomes are that students discover their creative potential, reach the learner objectives set for each class, create an original work of art from their own unique perspective and show growth in artistic ability, experience, and self-confidence. Quantitative outcomes will be measured by program class student/intern/Artist Mentor count and Community Showcase audience count. Qualitative outcomes will be measured by Showcase participation and presentation, pre and post student program evaluations, parent/guardian evaluations, and program team evaluations that include input from Artist Mentors, Hope Staff and Hope teacher assistants.
260 attended the Showcase celebrating creative achievements of 95 middle school students, 10 high school interns with 5 Artist Mentors. Student pre/post program evaluations showed an increase in perceived artistic self image/confidence. Student answers to “how do you feel about yourself as an artist?” went from an average 3.12/5 to 3.6/5; a 10% increase. 100% parent evaluations value the program.
