Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project students will have an emotional reaction to creating art, students will expand their understanding and skill of watercolor painting and share their paintings with the community. Evaluation will occur with a verbal or written participant questionnaire for teachers, students and the artist, a follow up with planners and the emotional reaction of students to the residency.

Measurable Outcome(s)

100% of students surveyed indicated they learned about watercolor and would like artists to return to their school. Students indicated through question and answer how they felt about the residency and the painting experience. "I enjoyed how with a few brush strokes you can create a detailed painting of trees and nature." "He was really good with the instructions so it gave us a lot of time to paint and finish the project."
