As a result of this project students will have a new appreciation and understanding of abstract art. They will have the opportunity to create art with a professional artist and share it with the community. Evaluation will occur through a questionnaire. Survey questions as well as comments will be used to determine the successes and needs of the residency. Project planners will also discuss the residency and if goals were met.
After surveying teachers and students, it was found that 100% of students grades 3 - 6 indicated they enjoyed the abstract art residency and wanted more artists in their schools. Teachers also indicated they felt students learned new things about abstract art and enjoyed the experience. The grade kindergarten through grade three evaluation indicated they were having fun, enjoyed painting and learning about famous artists and loved seeing their work displayed in the halls of the school.
