Youth will create an artistic plateau to express inner reflections, create a voice for themselves using visual senses, and attend a recognition ceremony featuring the outstanding members at a local gallery or public building. There will be a survey given to every participant to gauge their knowledge before and after the eight week sessions. The data received will further help in our growth of maturing the therapeutic process.
Each of the participants participated in Pre/Post survey questions that we used as an indicator of participants knowledge around the subject of self-esteem, self-identity and culture identity. Students understanding of self-identity within themselves, family, community and culture is displayed in Art work.
