Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate and learn in the arts increases through exposure to a watercolor residency and 85% of the students state having a positive learning experience. Evaluation will occur through a participant questionnaire, an artist questionnaire, personal observation of activities, follow-up meeting with project planners, attendance numbers, and interviews.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students were surveyed and teachers interviewed. 100% of students said they learned more about painting. One teacher commented, "Jim is a fantastic artist and teacher. He describes, shows and guides! The kids and I enjoyed him immensely. The kids admitted they never would have believed they could be a good painter beforehand but how they think otherwise!" All students and teachers wanted Mr. Mondloch to return again!
