Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, a large population ranging from youth to geriatric will broaden their understanding of tangible art beyond traditional mediums and settings. Evaluation will occur through a QR Code survey available at the Gary Pines, physical survey at the location and sent to groups that we are aware have attended (example: Church, classes, daycares) that will ask demographic information as well as their emotional responses to art in a natural space.
