Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The quantitative outcomes proposed are that five Artist Mentors will work with 85 middle school students assisted by ten High School interns with a final Community Showcase attended by an audience of 250 at Hope Academy. The qualitative outcomes are that students discover their creative potential, create an original work of art from their own unique perspective and show growth in artistic ability, experience, and self-confidence. Quantitative outcomes will be measured by Artist Mentor and intern count, program class count and Showcase audience count. Qualitative outcomes will be measured by Showcase participation and presentation, pre and post-student program evaluations, parent/guardian evaluations, and program team evaluations that include input from Artist Mentors, Hope Staff and teacher assistants.

Measurable Outcome(s)

250 attended the Showcase celebrating 95 students and 10 interns with 5 Artist Mentors hosting. Student pre/post evaluations showed an increase in every area of artistic confidence, especially “artistic self image” and “artistic dreams for the future” Parent/guardian evaluations all scored the program highly and commented how thankful they were for this opportunity for their students.
