Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program students in grades 4, 5 and 6 will show an emotional reaction to being watercolor painters and will also have a positive attitude about themselves as artists as well as gaining understanding and skill in the media. Evaluation will occur through participant and teacher questionnaire, interviews, follow up conferences with planners (teachers), personal observation, audience numbers and students emotional reactions to the residency.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We had planned for 75 students and numbers were increased and 90 students had the opportunity to experience the residency. 100% of students stated they enjoyed the residency, learned more about painting and would like artists to return to their school. We did the questionnaire in all classes that participated in the residency.
