ACHF Arts Education
Eagan Art House will expand number of program participants to venues beyond the art center facility. Success will be measured by the number of youth and teen participants in EAH On the Road programming. Evaluative measures will include student retention and parent satisfaction with the program. 2: Participants will develop their artistic skills through engagement with EAH teaching artists. Teaching artists will evaluate skill development with clearly defined learning objectives. Activities for exhibition and peer critique will also be included in the evaluative process.
Eagan Art House expanded programming to outside venues including neighborhood Pop Ups and developed curriculum for additional outreach programming. Pop Ups were evaluated by overall attendance counts and the length of engagement. Evaluation also included tracking the demographics of the audience, including age, cultural ethnicity, and type of family unit. 2: Participants developed artistic skills through individual exploration with the direction of Eagan Art House teaching artists. Eagan Art House teaching artists evaluated skill development by assessing baseline skills during the programs, and adjusting curriculum delivery for participant needs. Fluid assessment required a keen attention to participant capacity and skills.
