Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To acquire new technical skills culminating in a new body of work, an exhibition and panel presentation. I will participate in a public exhibition, panel presentation, and Q and A at Art at 801 Gallery in Minneapolis. 2: Develop a website to promote my creative work. I will use social media to promote my first website to bring attention to my creative work and build connections to the community.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The processes I learned and the skills I developed allowed me to explore a new direction for my work and to exhibit the new work for a new audience. My mentor was very positive about my progress learning this new technology. 2: I have been able to expose my work to a broader audience with the launch of my website which has make my work available for exhibition and purchase. There are Analytic tools on my webpage that make reports on website traffic.
