Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This residency and capstone at the Paradise will open barriers the public might have regarding the arts and those who are blind or visually impaired. This is a chance for everyone, including artists, teachers, staff and community members to think outside A guest book at the exhibit will record how many visited the show, where they were from, and comments. There will be video and photo stories that during the creating of the artwork and the opening of the show. Students will display stories of what the project meant to them and how they perceive art.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our students learned about the principles of design with the use of color, texture, scent and shape to represent emotion and experience in a tactile manner as they experienced the physical nature of visual art.
