Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
This Workshop fulfills the objective of "Raising the quality" of the organizations involved by teaching important skills and improving the scenic painting abilities of participants, and ultimately the quality of theatres they work with. We will survey attendees to measure their confidence in their ability to apply what was taught.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The goal was to improve individual painting ability, which was accomplished per the survey answers. I hope to see skills learned at the workshop employed in painting the set for our summer musical, but that outcome won't be observable for a couple of months.
