Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project students in grades four, six and high school will have the opportunity to paint and write with excitement and inspiration as a result of learning methods and inspiration from the teachings of artists. Evaluation will occur through a survey questionnaire with students and teachers. Their ideas and comments about the residency will be recorded. Evaluations and contact will be made with staff involved to determine the successes and needs of the residencies.

Measurable Outcome(s)

All students had a new arts experiences. The artist contacts and teacher contacts with the project director indicated students were excited and engaged in the writing process. They also had the opportunity to look within themselves and write about experiences and feelings. Sidewalks surrounding the school were covered with the poetry writings of the 10th graders. Community members read them on the way into music concerts and in walks around the school.
