Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

School-aged kids will work with a professional art educator to explore their artistry and creative instincts while learning about history.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Kids made drawings -- and then created ideas using clay and paint. Ages 6 and 7 were too young for program. Should have been for ages 8 to 14, not 6 to 14. Was so glad Laurie had a helper with Allison. This program definitely required one.
