Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Students will learn about the history and technique of this craft. Students will have an example of this craft to take with them.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Excellent program. Blanche Krbececk is a very knowledgeable, approachable, and wryly funny instructor who gives her students a better understanding of Poland and folk art, while encouraging them to learn and to use techniques in their own individual styles. Came in folk costume, lots of examples. Difficult art to master, but fun to try. Lots of personal interaction. Participants have been requesting more cross-cultural art programs.
