Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Our teaching artist, Kevin Reese, will work with 800 area students in creating art mobiles for part of a larger community art display. Evaluation will equate to successfully completing all steps: Kevin Reese and 800 participants create mobiles for a community art display; this culminates with two public performances.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We achieved the outcome in its entirety. We had a goal for Kevin Reese to engage 800 students, and he was able to reach 883 total students that created mobile art sculptures for a community art display. He also conducted two public performances, as per our goal.
