Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, adult participants will continue to experience their knowledge of creating images in either watercolor or collage with a lot of detail. The resulting image almost resembles a photograph. Each teaching artist strives to show how to create depth, interest, and a feeling that you are right there looking at the actual subject and that you could just put your toes in the water and feel the rocks (for instance) or run your fingers through the hair of the wild woman. The evaluation is passed out on the last day of the workshop(s) and I almost always go around and pick up the form if it has not been turned in.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, adults from our region experienced a degree of new knowledge and skills that they can take back to their home communities and share with their friends and fellow artists.
