Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
During the winter/spring of 2015, we will pair 40 creative mentors, one-on-one, with 40 income-elegible children ages 8-11 at Whittier Elementary School. Our creative mentors include graphic designers, art directors, writers, illustrators, architects, and photographers. To measure the impact of Art Buddies will ask all mentors and children to fill out written evaluations. We will also closely observe and document the interaction between children and their mentors.
Measurable Outcome(s)
41 students, working with 40 adult mentors, at Whittier International Elementary School in south Minneapolis learned visual art, sculptural art, writing and storytelling, and presentation skills.
