Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, area youth will increase their knowledge of artistic styles and increase their skills and confidence in working with a variety of artistic mediums by working closely with professional artists in a non-judgmental workshop setting that encourages creative exploration. As a result of this program, adult care givers will increase their awareness of how to encourage creative exploration in their children without judgement and control. Evaluation methods will include a written survey and live interviews of participants during and after the workshop to measure the impact on their knowledge, skill and confidence in participating youth, and in a shift in approach to supporting creative exploration in accompanying adults.
