Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants will learn how to use acrylic paints and about the skills necessary to successfully paint a still life. They will gather as a group of artists, exchange ideas and learn from each other, allowing them to connect in different ways than they normally might. The community will see the library as a place that promotes the arts and encourages community members to explore their artistic talents with the help of a professional artist. Participant evaluations and anecdotal responses will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants learned how to blend colors, highlight, add shadows and other artistic techniques. The group showed a wide range of skill levels and knowledge and the participants exchanged ideas and encouraged each other in learning new painting skills. Participants left with a favorable view of the library and the role it plays in the community by encouraging the learning of new skills and ideas.
