Apprentices will fill out surveys at the beginning and end of the program to evaluate the growth of their aesthetic and technical skills. Additionally, group critiques and ongoing feedback of art projects will help with these assessments. 2: 10+ apprentices and 100+ community learners overcome social alienation, deepen sense of Latino arts, and gain self-confidence as creative individuals.
