Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The main outcome is that we will have a number of murals on the north entrance to the school in the inside. These murals will be of the out of doors which includes animal life, trees and other plants. One will be able to see the work of Jill throughout the murals. It will carry on the themes that were developed in the front entry way. These murals will be the work of a professional artist that has a well known reputation for her artistic work. All of the Talahi community will come to have an appreciation of her work. It will help to foster learning areas that have outdoor themes. ; Access ; Learning The evaluation of her work will be done when she finishes with it. The completed murals will show what the out of doors can add to the minds of students. The other key factor will be when the art teacher creates art lessons about the themes of the murals. The creations that the students make will show how the murals have influenced them. We will take surveys of students to see how they appreciate this art work. The teachers intend to have discussions about this work with the students.
