Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program students at Tri-County School will participate in a variety of arts activities and learn more about the areas of drama, painting and spoken word. Evaluation will occur through questionnaire. Students will be surveyed and asked for comments. Teaching staff will also contribute comments. A discussion of those involved in the project will determine successes and needs. We will also count audience members at the annual art show where visual art will be displayed.

Measurable Outcome(s)

One hundred percent of students surveyed indicated they learned more about the art form from the artists. Students at Tri-County Schools had the opportunity to learn from artists in the areas of spoken word, painting and drawing and clowning and mime. The questionnaire was completed in all classes that were involved with the artists. The residencies all had great impact on the students at Tri-County.
