Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project high school students of Stephen/Argyle High will learn to take photographs using methods taught by artist, Mica Lee Anders and share them with the community through an exhibit in the high school. Evaluation will occur through a follow up meeting with the project planners and evaluation survey of the participants. We will also count numbers of the public that see the display of photographs taken by students.

Measurable Outcome(s)

High school students grade 7 - 12 had the opportunity to choose an art form they would like to experience and learn more about. 32 students chose to learn about photography from COMPAS artist, Mica Lee Anders. The questionnaire was completed by the cooperating teacher and participating students. 100% of students indicated they learned more about photography and liked having the artist in their classroom.
