Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Northfield students will access an art-making experience beyond the traditional curriculum. The sculpture will have great visibility in a prominent place on the cityscape and then have lasting art educational value by inspiring generations of students to contemplate public art daily. Northfield videographer, Paul Krause, will be creating a documentary of the project. Evaluation surveys will be collected from project participants, as well as residents and visitors. We will keep a tally of student attendance and record the number of attendees at the capstone event.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The project provided young emerging artists with a guided and creative public sculpture experience. We paid professional artists appropriately for their time and expertise and provided an organized teaching opportunity to share their craft and publicly display the creative product of a healthy collaboration.
