Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I will learn how to document my work through high quality photos that will be included in the visual arts publication WOPOZI. A photography consultant and the editors of WOPOZI will evaluate this outcome through check-ins. Success of this outcome will carry over into the larger context of my professional artistic practice. 2: I will strengthen my painting practice by hiring an assistant to help me build durable, archival canvas substrates. Success of this outcome will be evaluated by my ability to build canvas substrates that withstand warping and sagging over time, further strengthening my technical skills and artistic development.
