Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Leonardo's Basement will deepen its relationship with Ramsey Middle School by having two artists work with 200 students to design and build a functional studio/workshop in the school. In addition, two other artists will guide the same 200 students to design personal, small-scale sculptures as models for a group-built sculptural installation in the school.Student participation will be recorded by instructors. Photo and video evaluation of individual projects and group installation will be recorded. Students will complete a post program evaluation in spring and fall 2014.
