Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of the timing of these art experiences and additional art equipment, the students of Kittson Central will have the ability to participate to a greater extent, learning new skills as they create art. Evaluation will take place through different means and perspectives. I interview the artists about their experience at Camp Art and how it could be improved based on their perspective as the teaching artists. I interview campers on the last day to see what they liked about Camp Art and ask them to generate ideas for next year's camp. They also evaluate Camp Art using a 1-5 scale. Parents fill out a survey at the art show that shows the value of Camp Art from their perspective.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The students at Kittson Central were stretched by the new art processes and techniques they learned through the programs and equipment that our grants secured.
