Telling Your Story

Develop a story about your project that you can share with others, as well as with the ICA. The story should be brief (two pages maximum), to the point, and understandable to a variety of audiences. Use the following questions to structure your story:

1. What did your project set out to do? What outcomes did you identify for your project?

Our project set out to create water color and batik artwork through observation of our landscape, photos of Troy's architecture and animals of the northwest.
2. What did the project accomplish? Who was served and how did they benefit?

Troy Elementary students accomplished exposure to techniques of watercolors, watercolor pencils, and using the batik method. This project served kindergarten through sixth grade students. This project brought the community and our school community together while participating in an art walk and reception.The art inspired students to write poetry about their subjects.
3. How do you know that your project accomplished these things? What evaluation methods did you use?

Evaluation method: teacher-student generated rubric
Teacher Observation: Students guided family members through the art walk discussing the skills, materials, and procedures.
