The cost for each book is $18.00. We will order a total of 150 books. One hundred and fifty books will be distributed to the students and throughout the city of Santa Ana in various venues. Once the book is published and ready to distribute, the teacher, parents and the students will attend one City of Santa Ana Council and one SAUSD board Meeting to share their project and experiences, as well as other venues throughout the city to celebrate the artistic community. Program activities and outcomes are defined based on 4 main areas to encourage positive youth development included in classroom time at the Delhi Center. SKILL BUILDING/CREATING: Youths will learn foundational skills to conceptualize, develop and refine artistic ideas that are methodically explored and analyzed through a multitude of activities combined with problem solving, personal development and gang prevention. Expert artists will conduct classes on Iffe skills, self and body awareness, self-identity, how to resolve conflicts and communication through arts -based lessons. RESPONDING/CONNECTING: Young artists will observe, interpret, analyze, and evaluate novice and professional art work and activities to establish critical thinking skills, increase knowledge through personal experiences, and develop new ideas with societal, cultural and historical context to deepen understanding of the work. Activities will help youths to discover appreciation and inspiration for optimal growth and motivation to achieve personal goals. PERFORMING/PRESENTING: Youths will exercise and refine artistic work to convey meaning through presentation of artwork as individuals and with groups. Students will gain.positive peer interactions, trust, teamwork and belonging to a community by connecting with peers and adults who demonstrate positive social behaviors, networking, supportive mentors and community engagement. Participants will create their presentations to highlight lessons learned through their participation in gang prevention activities and skill development process. RECOGNITION: Young artists will participate in events, attend crime prevention workshops and gain an understanding of humane values, empathy and a sense of social justice. Activities are focused on social and behavioral skills. Students will be recognized for their accomplishments during regular performance evaluations and feedback provided by the instructors as well as by the rewards of participating in the community performances. Program Evaluation will require two forms of assessments to ensure compliance with grant requirements are met, and to evaluate students' progress and outcomes in the community. Result findings will include accurate and complete data and demographics through proper intake and eligibility assessment, tracking of attendance and levels of participation in all program components, tracking of expenditures and staff time with appropriate source documentation. Programmatic outcomes are expected to include an increase in communication, team building and technical skills in visual and performing art, achievement of personal goals, self and body awareness and confidence and a strong commitment to respecting self and their community.
