Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I will have learned to use a spray gun and developed new methods for applying my work to outside surfaces using paint. I will have a studio critique with a group of local artists and colleagues at my studio where I invite critical feedback on my new methods and imagery. 2: I will carry out an exciting neighborhood exhibition and garage walking tour in the summer of 2014. The work and tour will be documented. I will have a questionnaire that attendees of the walking tour will be asked to fill out, that asks about their experience and impression of the work and of being on the tour.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Rachel learned how to use an airbrush and learned how to adapt her stencil making process to work new stencil materials that would accommodate the use of an airbrush. 2: Rachel successfully created and produced murals on six garages in her neighborhood. She organized a walking tour of the murals that was well attended and the tour was documented.
