Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the students of Red Lake Middle School will discover how integrating art in the form of a song and video enhances their self-expression and can help them reach their full potential, become more resilient, and become self-empowered. As a result of the program, the citizens of the Red Lake Nation will experience a greater hope for the future, respect for the community, and broaden their outlook on the ability to create art in one of its many forms. The Arts Management Team at Red Lake Middle School plans to survey artists, participants and audience during and after the activity and also have a follow-up meeting with the planners to go over the results.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, RLMS seventh grade students experienced an increase in skills and an awareness of how to use writing and music to express oneself in/about writing lyrics and composing a beat/song through working with Lady Midnight to learn about composing lyrics, working with Garlic Brown to learn about composing music and setting lyrics to music, and working with both Lady Midnight and Garlic Brown to make a music video and to prepare for a live performance of the created song.
