Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
100 students will experience art works from around the world that they will not have had the opportunity to see other than in pictures or on television. Students will compare the types of art works from one institution to the other students will be challenged to discuss and relate their experiences after they return from their trip. Gifted Coordinators will develop a pre and post evaluation for students to use before and after the trip. We will also utilize evaluation tools provided by the Walker and Minnapolis Institute of Arts.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Successful arts education project. Majority of students showed an increase in artistic awareness, skill, and understanding.
