Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, the Grygla Elementary students will learn art skills in visual art activities which helps overcome the barrier of not having an elementary art teacher. Evaluation will occur through demonstrations that include time for questions, counting audience members, discussions during the projects, and a final discussion upon the completion of the grant with each classroom about their new skills, and overall experiences with the projects.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students were excited to participate in art. Students had discussions during each project about art elements and principles, and they could also ask questions in relation on how to make something. During the final weeks, discussions occurred in each class
