Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 30 children will create puppets and a corresponding story with three master artists to produce one public performance, as indicated by session and performance attendance; and 100% of master artists will feel that they have increased their ability to help youth master new art forms, as indicated by Artist Survey. We will use activity/session attendance to document the number of children and artists by session. We will also use observation and photos to document numbers of audience members at the public performance.Youth, artists, and audience members will receive a paper survey to document their feelings about the project and engagement in the art forms/public performance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The biggest impact of our project was qualitative 75% of audience members surveyed at the public performance indicated this was there first time seeing puppet project on leadership. Participant self-survey showed that 100% of students learned a new art form in making the large and individual puppets.
