Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

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

Measurable Outcome(s)

100% of students surveyed felt they learned more about abstract art and enjoyed time with the artist. 100% of students indicated they had learned something new in the area of abstract art. Some students surveyed indicated it was a very challenging experience for them, but certainly one that helped them look at art in a different way. Students were able to complete multiple paintings and were positive about painting in a new art form.
