Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the Curious Artist will experience an increase in skills and knowledge in creating individual expressions of art through: Autumn Beauty Photography with an IPhone, Basic Pottery Skills and Woodworking Foundations showcasing what beauty can be created with simple tools and one's own hands, Mosaic creation using broken pieces of china and tile to create bird and animal forms for Garden Landscapes. Engaging the Curious Artist to explore thru nature, self and tools. Evaluation methods include surveys, administered after each class, to measure skills acquired, knowledge learned, and if they enjoyed the creative journey of our ?Curious Artists? ages 24-64. Our evaluation survey also provides space to share additional input from the individual Curious Artist that may provide insight, additional areas of interest or ways we may improve the experience for others.
