Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Reach for Resources will provide each participant to experience a different form of emotional expression and communication. In order to accomplish this experience all the participants will work towards three goals: each artist will complete a warm up activity in the beginning of each session; each artist will create one piece of art they are proud of and willing to share with the group; and each participant will complete a piece of art to the best of their ability to be displayed in the March art exhibit that represents themselves and their Art Abilities experience. The criteria for measuring success will include each participant being able to produce at least one piece of art that they are willing to speak about at one of the six weeks and show a piece of art during the March Art Exhibit. To evaluate the program, the participants will be given an evaluation in the method that best meets the client's needs at the end of the six weeks (survey, a question and answer session where the group participates, or private conversation with the project personnel). Surveys will also be given to spectators of the Art Exhibit.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants learned new ways to communicate effectively and process different emotions. Art Abilities attracted a total of 66 participants, many of which signed up to attend the art exhibit. The responses from the art exhibit made it clear that Art Abilities succeeded at providing a supporting environment in which participants explored unique art mediums and learned new forms of expression.
