Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The teaching artist will engage with 240 patients, families and/or friends during 168 hours of direct contact. 80% of learners will acquire skills in art media or an understanding of the aesthetic concerns of art forms. The teaching artist will maintain a daily log, which will include the number of learners, the art materials and projects utilized, and observations about the arts learners' participation and progress relative to their individual needs and ability.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In 45 visits to the pediatric unit, the teaching artist provided arts programming to 234 patients, family members, and visitors. Each participant worked 1:1 with the artist to create a finished work of art, many of which were taken home by the participants. 27.3% of patients (88) declined to make art, while 72.7% (234) made art with the artist. This number surpassed the goal of 204 participants.
