Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Project goals are to instill the value of the visual language and to enhance the creative process and problem solving in our youth. The measurable outcome will be the artwork created by the students. The intent of the progressive dates of the workshops is to motivate other youth to participate in the subsequent workshops. The intended increase in workshop participants will reveal the success of the program. Participants with the assistance of parents will complete an evaluation form with numerical rankings relating to the success of the program projects. JPG images of the students’ artwork will also be included in the final report. The Exhibition during Rushmore Days in June will demonstrate the measurable success of the area youth’s creative abilities. During the Art Exhibition a community response form will be made available to those visiting the exhibit.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Positive comments in Evaluation Forms; Continued enrollment growth with each workshop presented; Participant and parental comments; Community response
