Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project students in grades one through grade four at Tri-County Schools will learn about the art of puppetry from artist, Christopher Lutter-Gardella, create puppets and perform with their puppets. Evaluation will occur through staff and student questionnaire. The questionnaire will ask if students learned more about the art form and if they enjoyed the residency. There will also be a space for comments about their ideas about the residency. Staff, project director and the artist will also discuss the successes and needs of the residency.

Measurable Outcome(s)

All students indicated they learned more about painting from the artist. This was the first time Heidi Jeub had worked in our lower elementary. She came in as a fast replacement for the puppeteer. He could not come north for the residency due to family health issues. Students in all grades loved mixing colors, painting on real canvases and creating portraits of themselves! Students enjoyed sharing their art with their families.
