Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Adults will not only learn a new art form, but will be socializing with other adults in a welcoming environment, and encouraged to create and experiment by the art instructors.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Before we had to close abruptly due to COVID-19, we managed to have 7 classes of our Hands On art series. Attendees had good things to say about the instructors: Instructor was kind, patient, very helpful, Instructor was very good at explaining, and Instructor - Great teacher. They also enjoyed learning a new art form: Loved this! Breaking the glass looked frightening but learned how fun it is!, I have a beautiful memory book. It was the 1st book I've ever constructed., I'm a creative person. I didn't know? it. One class was held at a senior residence, and the participants not only enjoyed the making of the art, they also enjoyed doing it together working on their own piece, but also helping each other and giving each other compliments along the way.
