Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Applicant will attend the Frogman's Print Workshop in Omaha, Nebraska to learn the process of plate lithography from July 10-15. During the workshop, the applicant will create a new lithographic print which will be displayed in an upcoming exhibit.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I attended the Plate Lithography course, which was part of the Frogman's Print Workshop, in Omaha, Nebraska to refresh my knowledge and skills in areas of lithography, which is a medium I have not used in over 20 years. During this time I was able to complete one work of art, in an edition of 5 prints, which will be on display in the upcoming Faculty Exhibit at my place of employment this coming September.
