Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Kids will gain hands on art experience from a professional instructor.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Kids constructed space ships from tubes, mylar and other materials. Kids were inventive and made good use of the materials. One boy planned to use a bicycle pump to shoot his into the air when he got home so there was real science going on.

Kids created city sculpture/collage from recycled materials and other bits. They really enjoyed designing their own buildings.
