Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program students will be excited to participate, learn and paint with watercolor artist, Jim Mondloch. Evaluation will occur through a questionnaire. Students will be surveyed as well as give comments about their experience. Teachers will also give comments. The planner and staff members will discuss the successes and needs of the residency. We will also count numbers at the spring music event where the paintings will be displayed.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students were so excited to have him return to Tri-County. Teachers learn as well as students in the painting classes. When asked about the residency students stated, "He showed us the correct way to use watercolors." "I liked how he taught us, and we can pass it on to others." "We got to see how artists really paint." 100% of students surveyed enjoyed the residency and wanted artists to return to their classrooms.
