ACHF Arts Access
At-risk youth, ages 16-24, will learn mosaic or painting skills, complete portions of a public art mural, and teach others some of these skills. COMPAS will track: youths' mosaic and painting skills at the beginning and end of project, and progress made towards completing the mural, and how youth helped others at community art-making sessions. 2: Community members will learn mosaic and/or painting skills during community art making sessions. We will ask people who take part in community painting/mosaic-making sessions about their past experiences with art making and its impact.
Homeless, displaced and/or low income youth, ages 14-24, completed a paint and mosaic mural. A group of them also taught others paint skills. Mentor artists monitored apprentices' paint and mosaic skills as they practiced and then as they worked on the mural, and their interactions helping others with paint skills. Progress on mural documented with pictures. Apprentices filled out an evaluation 2: Community members learned painting skills as they painted at a festival and helped with mural; and observed mosaics being made. We talked with people at festival and during volunteering or observations about past painting or mosaic experience. Compiled notes on responses. Being outdoors it became difficult to give people a written survey.
