Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, participants will experience a high level of artistic presentations and knowledge by two artists who have been instructing on a national level for many years. These two artists are seasoned and professional in their teaching methods and participants always come away with at least two or three new ideas of how to achieve a given goal of the painting/project. Evaluation methods include both a written format to be filled out by the end of the workshop and a video opportunity that helps to measure the level of understanding and how the instructor may have to redirect a student to achieve the desired outcome or skill.
