Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants will demonstrate increased knowledge and skill in visual arts. Pre and post-surveys will ask participants to self-assess their knowledge and skill at the beginning and end of each series of classes. Instructors will assess students' work for signs of skill development throughout each series. 2: Participants will show greater confidence and improved emotional well-being as a result of participating in classes. Participants will be asked to self-report their mood/feelings both before and after each class. Sticker polls will ask participants to self-report impact of classes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The majority of participants developed their knowledge and skill in visual arts. Through surveys, informal polls, and conversations with participants we determined that nearly all participants used a new skill as a result of participation in an ArtReach class. 2: Participating in ArtReach classes/activities improved well-being. Using sticker polls for in-person classes, all participants reported having created something, most reported feeling welcome and able to express themselves. Many reported feeling inspired or connected with others. Online responses were similar.
