Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, students will have the opportunity to learn about watercolor painting and writing and will express themselves with the guidance of artists. Evaluation will occur through student and teacher questionnaires with open ended response questions to share their feelings about the residences, response to the showing of art work and follow up conferences with the residency planners.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The grant made art happen in the areas of writing and visual art. Students painted and wrote poetry, spoken word and stories. Residencies happened in person before the pandemic shutdown and virtually after the effects of the pandemic hit. Students indicated through evaluations that their experiences were positive and they learned about art from the artists. Student work was shared in the school, virtually and on social media.
