Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Offer classes/workshop opportunities thru local art associations of this technique of adding cold wax to oil paint. Open awareness of new tools to artists to unearth, expose and expand art creation into unconventional means to find their own voice. Document individual's or artist's stories thru interviews and surveys who attended offered workshops/classes or the capstone exhibit. Compile those results of how different tools of mark-making is a catalyst of exploration into creating art.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Classes/workshops were made available and attended thru art associations in Faribault and Northfield and my home studio. There is future interest from other artists for attending classes.
