Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Minnesota artists are able to expand or further develop their artistic abilities through varied learning opportunities. Minnesota artists are able to develop business skills needed to support their professional art work. More Minnesotans are able to engage in or with the work of Minnesota artists.
Measurable Outcome(s)
This animated short is the first sole/independent animation I created without ties to an organization or academic program. I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge on independent workflows, budgeting and adapting to hardship. All of these could only be taught through experience.
