Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our quantitative outcome we plan to achieve: 85% of the participants will say they learned new art skills. Evaluation will be carried out by trained ESAC staff to compare program outcomes to the benchmarks described in our stated goals to support a continuous cycle of improvement. Before classes begin, the group will discuss their interests and what they hope to get out of the program and this discussion will generate questions for a written evaluation to be filled out by participants at the end of the sessions indicating what they learned.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Qualitative: More than 90% of the participants said they learned an art form and increase their ability to express themselves creatively was increased as reported by them in our evaluations.
