Students will increase understanding of what it means to be an artist by engaging in creation and performance with six professional artists. The program will be assessed by student pre/post-interviews, written reflections, and following rubric developed with our arts partners. Students will create and perform finished pieces of art. 2: Students increase understanding of the interdependent relationship between community and arts through direct participation in local art organizations. We will use student reflection data from each unit as well as from the end of the course. Also, pre and post-surveys on arts engagement, and evaluation feedback from arts partners.
