Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program students in grades kindergarten through grade twelve will have the opportunity to paint and create art using a variety of techniques creating art. Evaluation will occur through a participant questionnaire, follow up conferences with the planners and student's reactions through open ended questions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

COVID 19 certainly changed the way we evaluated our residency. Teachers were busy teaching and trying to navigate distance learning. E-mails let us know the residencies were very much enjoyed by students and staff with great creativity taking place. The final experiences of the elementary residency were lessons created by artist, Alicia Spilde.
