As a result of this program, senior citizens will experience a higher appreciation and skill level in watercolor pencil art and acrylic poured art painting techniques. In art merit and appreciation watercolor painting will positively impact our seniors through the teaching, learning and act of painting. I will have a survey to be given to the participants after the class is completed. I will ask the participants during the class verbally if they are enjoying the class and documenting their responses. I will give each participant a written survey for them to fill out upon completion of the class. I will give them time to fill them out either right away or ask them to be returned within a week. I will compile all the surveys and put the data together for future possible classes or this kind.
