ACHF Arts Education
98% of students will report exploring something they had not had a chance to experience before the conference. 98% of participants will rate the art sessions Good to Excellent. A post-conference evaluation will be used to collect data to measure the outcomes. We will also provide a qualitative evaluation by sharing the comments we receive from student and adult participants.
99% of students reported exploring something they had not had a chance to experience before the conference. 94% of participants rated the art sessions Good to Excellent. ADULT COMMENTS: Great! Thanks for opportunity! I followed 13 students around all day and tried to be in a few minutes of at least 2 sessions with each of them. All that I observed was fantastic! Derek Anderson was awesome! Very well organized and ran really smooth. Keep doing this for kids. Great job. They love coming because they get to try new art activities and techniques. It's always fun bringing a group to the art conference! HPS students loved the experience! Exposure to all kinds of things for them was fantastic. STUDENT COMMENTS: I learned that if someone says that you are bad at something, you can just keep going and don't listen if they say you're bad at it. In other words, treat others how you want to be treated! Keep on going even if things go wrong. Hip hop is fun and dancing is fun. Hand lettering is hard, but it is very fun. I would do it again, but I would need more help, it is fun because of the brush and how cool it is. Pictures do not have to be perfect.
