performances. Students will have a chance to showcase their efforts and the published book at <br />various venues such as the end of summer performance at the Delhi Center, Downtown Santa <br />Ana Art Walk, Santa Ana Library and other local business. <br />The cost for each book is $18.00. We will order a total of 150 books. One hundred and fifty <br />books will be distributed to the students and throughout the city of Santa Ana in various venues. <br />Once the book is published and ready to distribute, the teacher, parents and the students will <br />attend one City of Santa Ana Council and one SAUSD board Meeting to share their project and <br />experiences, as well as other venues throughout the city to celebrate the artistic community. <br />Program activities and outcomes are defined based on 4 main areas to encourage positive youth <br />development included in classroom time at the Delhi Center. <br />SKILL BUILDING/CREATING: Youths will learn foundational skills to conceptualize, develop and <br />refine artistic ideas that are methodically explored and analyzed through a multitude of activities <br />combined with problem solving, personal development and gang prevention. Expert artists will <br />conduct classes on life skills, self and body awareness, self-identity, how to resolve conflicts and <br />communication through arts -based lessons. <br />RESPONDING/CONNECTING: Young artists will observe, interpret, analyze, and evaluate <br />novice and professional art work and activities to establish critical thinking skills, increase <br />knowledge through personal experiences, and develop new ideas with societal, cultural and <br />historical context to deepen understanding of the work. Activities will help youths to discover <br />appreciation and inspiration for optimal growth and motivation to achieve personal goals. <br />PERFORMING/PRESENTING: Youths will exercise and refine artistic work to convey meaning <br />through presentation of artwork as individuals and with groups. Students will gain positive peer <br />interactions, trust, teamwork and belonging to a community by connecting with peers and adults <br />who demonstrate positive social behaviors, networking, supportive mentors and community <br />engagement. Participants will create their presentations to highlight lessons learned through their <br />participation in gang prevention activities and skill development process. <br />RECOGNITION: Young artists will participate in events, attend crime prevention workshops and <br />gain an understanding of humane values, empathy and a sense of social justice. Activities are <br />focused on social and behavioral skills. Students will be recognized for their accomplishments <br />during regular performance evaluations and feedback provided by the instructors as well as by <br />the rewards of participating in the community performances. <br />Program Evaluation will require two forms of assessments to ensure compliance with grant <br />requirements are met, and to evaluate students' progress and outcomes in the community. Result <br />findings will include accurate and complete data and demographics through proper intake and <br />eligibility assessment, tracking of attendance and levels of participation in all program <br />components, tracking of expenditures and staff time with appropriate source documentation. <br />Programmatic outcomes are expected to include an increase in communication, team building <br />and technical skills in visual and performing art, achievement of personal goals, self and body <br />awareness and confidence and a strong commitment to respecting self and their community. <br />Answers to Supplemental Questions: <br />Question 1: Please describe any additional City of Santa Ana resources required for your <br />project (permits, public space, licenses etc.) that you are required to obtain? <br />There are no additional City of Santa Ana resources required to obtain for our project <br />ALBI <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
