Participants will learn that art can be found around the world, can be created from a variety of materials, and can be created for many purposes. Participants will learn that they can create art with whatever materials they have available to them in the everyday life.Participants will be given a short pre and post-test to determine their knowledge of the subject matter. These tests will be compared to gauge the increase in knowledge. The exhibit attendees will be asked to complete a short survey about their prior knowledge of these art forms, what their children shared with them throughout the sessions and what other involvement they have in the participants' art education.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students were exposed to traditional art forms from 5 different countries. Students learned that art can be created with any materials they have and were able to create art from many different materials in a variety of ways. Students learned to be more comfortable with their art and more free to experiment with art materials.
