Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Complete a solo exhibition at the Grand Marais Art Colony. The outcome will be evaluated whether the solo exhibition is completed or not. This will eliminate evaluating the more subjective nature inherent in art and focus the evaluation on more objective ground.
Measurable Outcome(s)
I completed a solo exhibition at the Grand Marais Art Colony, in Grand Marais. In my proposal, I wanted to do away with the subjective methodology inherent in evaluating art. Therefore, I made my evaluation a yes or no system. Even so, it is an impossible task to evaluate art in 500 characters or less.
