Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project school aged children will learn and understand basic painting concepts to broaden their artistic knowledge. Evaluation will occur through participant questionnaire interviews notes related to personal observation audience/artist/youth numbers and having the participants describe or capture their own impressions and submitting.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students broadened their horizons while learning water color painting techniques. Through conversations and a short quiz, students demonstrated growth in their painting skills and know how. Our students have a new-found passion for painting and the arts.
