Excited to watch children learn different animals by name in three different languages, Ojibwe, Spanish and English. We will have an increase in art learning opportunities in our rural community. An increase in arts learners participating in classes. New skills will be acquired as there is are more opportunities to be with teaching artists. Our studio memberships will increase due to art experiences. Artists in training will gain experience in the art medium as well as learning methods to teach others. Our teachers will be given opportunity to grow in their ability to teach and learn how to inspire others. Class participants tracked by sign-in sheets. Recorded observation/personal interviews by class administrator of class atmosphere, student engagement, skills learned and the teaching methods, quality of hands-on experiences the artists provided.
We had an increase in art learning opportunities, offering art classes March-October and we definitely saw an increase in people attending the offered classes, acquiring new skills verses being a regular member of the studio. Our studio memberships increase by a few new members. Teachers were stretched and grew with the opportunity to teach and were an inspiration to others! We had sign in sheets and I had regular contact with teachers and students to keep abreast of the learning process.
