Process, intent, materials used, elements and principles of design are all measures of student success. Exit interviews will be conducted between the artist and each student group using a hybrid of the Perpich's Tuning measurement. The feedback will be recorded for the adults involved. Finally we'll conduct exit interview between the artist and classroom teacher towards the goal of improving the experience for future parties.
