Proposed Measurable Outcome(s) 
The artistic goal of the project is to introduce participants to new art forms and increase their level of proficiency in the subject. Participants should enjoy the arts experience and leave the class feeling that they have a greater understanding of the art discipline. Additional goals are to provide the means for high quality arts education in art disciplines that are not otherwise available, expanding participants’ level of knowledge and understanding of the art form. The larger community will benefit by having a more vibrant arts community in which to live.Students will be asked to fill out exit surveys at the end of each class to gauge the effectiveness of the class, determine future needs for arts education, and provide direction for future programs.
