Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Art for All Development Project will have one primary measurable outcome; the completion of a collection of three artistic projects with an accompanying curriculum framework and measurement tools. Evaluation materials will be developed during the Research and Exploration Phase of the project. As each project is specifically constructed and researched, the evaluation materials will be custom created to provide the best measurements.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Through parent and artist feedback, the participants were able to do the projects at their own pace and therefore felt more confident and comfortable participating. The participants were able to have one on one contact with the Artist. The participants were truly able to create their art at their own pace.
