As a result of this program, our students will a new awareness about creating self-portraits through different mediums. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting with planners and a youth participant questionnaire given on the last day of the workshop that asks about their development of artistic skills and knowledge; and their emotional reaction to participating.
Every student completed artwork daily. From their first painting to last, showed great growth. Katrina Knutson did a great job aligning her paintings to goals/objectives. (Example: fanning out the brushes to make leaves; smudging techniques) When talking with the students, they had wonderful discussions and they genuinely seemed to enjoy the wonderful opportunity. Since our residency, our students have been experimenting more with painting.
