Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Provide 150 children and their families with opportunities to work with professional artists from a variety of places around the world. We will celebrate our four month project with a family arts event involving 250 adults and 150 children. We will evaluate our project by the following methods: participant and family event counts, parent on-line survey, artist survey, and a post-project evaluation meeting.
Measurable Outcome(s)
169 children completed art work for the final gallery event. Over 90% of their families attended and many included siblings and grandparents who stayed to get their "passport" stamped when they visited displays by other classes. All teachers and staff said the parents were remarkably pleased by the quality and variety of visual art projects displayed.
