Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Our artistic goals are to introduce students to the oriental culture through art and to help them understand that art has an impact in our culture and on each student individually.This experience will encourage an understanding of other cultures, specifically how the history of religion, art and tea are interrelated shaping the values of the orient. Students will also gain experience in the art community and learn how art has an impact on their day to day life.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Students completed the Rubric and Exit reports as mentioned in the grant proposal. All goals were evaluated through written and verbal communication. One student has decided to pursue a ceramics career in college, because of the time she spent with Craig.
