As a result of this program, 4-H youth in Pennington County will increase their knowledge and skills about art. Evaluation will occur through questionnaires, observations, and youth engagement numbers. 4-H will also track enrollment in artistic project areas the following year.
With grant funding, several youth were exposed to artistic disciplines and explored them with instruction from a local artist to make their own art. Youth participated in hands-on learning experiences and what they learned will be used to strengthen their project learning in 4-H and beyond. The grant provided funding to help with performing arts through the purchase of 2 headset microphones. Without the funding, we would not have been able to provide the opportunities to youth or artists.
