Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Local creatives will learn about the process of mural making and some of this artist's techniques we can carry forward. There will be two workshops, and separate evaluation forms will be created for each, which will be distributed and collected at a required post-project meeting for all attendees.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students and local artists learned this artist's techniques for creating large outdoor murals, and a bit about having a career doing this kind of work. We used an evaluation form (quiz/feedback form) at the conclusion of the workshop to collect info regarding what attendees gleaned from their experience with Limpio.
