Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goals and outcomes I hope to address and achieve through participation in this workshop are as follows: - Utilize this opportunity to train with Living Master Robert Liberace - Attend and successfully complete his workshop on March 19-21, 2020 - Receive instruction from Mr. Liberace in new techniques, tools, and approaches - Learn and understand how to create a dynamic drawing of a figure that is infused with movement and life - Increase my skill and competency in drawing from the nude figure. I can confirm and measure my success in meeting these goals and outcomes with the following: - Attend the workshop - Confirm my attendance with an email or note from Mr. Liberace following the completion of the workshop - Provide visual documentation of the drawings created during the workshop I believe that evidence of my increased knowledge, understanding, and skill will be apparent in figurative work produced after the workshop and moving forward in my career. When I have trained with highly skilled and respected artists in the past, the knowledge comes in a layering process in which each new tool and technique builds upon the foundation of what I already have to work with. I have no doubt that this training will change the way I approach and render a drawing from life.
