Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The production of a large body of work in new, limited materials will increase technical abilities. The most tangible outcome is that the project will be made. The process of making the work will present learning opportunities because I am working with unfamiliar materials. 2: The proper display of project materials/artwork. I anticipate frames being built for the proper display in a gallery setting and professional images (photography) will be made of the work and be published widely online.

Measurable Outcome(s)

A large-scale (10'x15'), sequential work on paper, rendered in ink and oil was produced and exhibited at the Bockley Gallery. 2: The artist is still working at developing her business skills as this will be an ongoing process, but she was able to properly display her work in a gallery setting and received professional images.
