Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of learning acrylic painting with Alice Blessing 100% of students will experience confidence in using acrylics on their own. Since this is an intense workshop covering the use of paints, mediums, and color theory, students will also be able to transfer the skills acquired to other media projects. Additionally, students would be able to show others these techniques. A survey will be distributed to participants at the end of the workshop to measure their evaluation of the entire class and the skills they have acquired.
