Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendees will learn about natural and public art and how to capture it, interpret it and create it using our natural surroundings and man-made materials. Attendees will learn about the role of public art in both the old and new Milaca Libraries.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Ed Wargin presentation: “Excellent speaker and presentation - good to say to leave cameras at home” -- “The 'warm-up' video was frustrating with the verbage on bottom distracting from actual viewing the video - TOO SMALL” -- “Speaker well versed in subject and natural in teaching. Lots of good information” -- “Picked up new ideas.” / Milaca Anniversary: 71% enjoyed the anniversary celebration, but only 57% said it met their expectations. -- “I came so late and missed much, but presenter was obviously well versed in her subject.”
