Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Currently, students have no options for art classes at school (beyond occasional project on the elementary level). Tracy Community Education and Tracy Public Library have recognized the lack of artistic opportunities and have partnered to fill that need through art classes for children and adults. We recognize the positive impact that these art classes have on the participants' mental well-being. We also recognize the need to provide opportunities other than athletics within the community. Participants in Summer Art Camps and the Sketchbook program will be able to create art, learn art vocabulary and techniques, receive guidance from a professional artist, and socialize with others who enjoy making art. Participants will be asked to rate the program and share what they learned.
