Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, participants in the Warm Your Heart Activities will experience increased knowledge and skills regarding various artistic mediums and techniques through hands on activities. Evaluation methods will include a post activity written survey of about 7 questions administered by the teacher of the activity to all participants attending in order to measure the impact the activity had on the target audience as to pleasure, skills learned and whether the participant would like to learn more. In addition, anecdotal evidence will be collected by the teacher of the activity during the activity regarding interaction among students, with the teacher, and over all attitude and feelings regarding the activity.
