Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of attending either, or both of these acrylic painting workshops, 100% of students will significantly increase their knowledge and confidence in using acrylics on their own. Since these are intense workshops covering the use of paints, mediums, and color theory, students will also be able to transfer the skills acquired to other media projects. A survey will be distributed to participants at the end of the workshop. This questionnaire will measure their evaluation of the entire class and the skills they have acquired.
