Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through imagery and sculpture this project will engage a senior community in discussions about art and artistic inspiration. The seniors will be challenged to view nature within their grounds from an artistic point of view and to write about or sketch what they see. The senior discussion comments and journal entries will be compiled and documented. Approved comments and journal entries will be incorporated into the capstone event exhibit. An attendee comment box will be included in the exhibition. Attendee comments will be included in the final report.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I engaged 14 seniors in conversations about my artistic process and about creating bronze sculpture. The intent was to have them make a small clay sculpture. They chose not to work with clay, but discussed their appreciation of various art forms, their art experiences and their former art students.
