Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project students will look at themselves as artists and will gain knowledge and skills in the area of watercolor painting and share those creative works with the community. Evaluation will occur with a written or verbal questionnaire of participants, artist and teacher, a follow up meeting of planners and audience count of people seeing the display of paintings.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The amount of students that participated was less. This was a result of enrollment numbers. Those students that participated in the words of the supervising teacher, "Universally enjoyed Jim Mondloch's watercolor program. Art was created. 100% of students had a positive experience." The supervising teacher indicated it was an excellent program and several students indicated they would be getting watercolor paints to continue painting at home.
