Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I create four large-scale 40 x 60 inch collages using my photographs and drawings of native plants at The Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden. I complete four collages and correctly identify all the native plants in my images. These larger-than-life images of native plants speak to the importance of preserving urban prairies. 2: I document my collages and add these images to my portfolio to be used for upcoming exhibition proposals. I create and document my collages then gather these images and accompanying text into a new exhibition proposal focused on my collage and installation-based work.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I created four large-scale 40 x 60 inch collages using my photographs and drawings of native plants at The Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden. I completed more than four collages and am able to correctly identify all the native plants in my images. These larger-than-life images of native plants speak to the importance of preserving urban prairies. 2: I document my collages and add these images to my portfolio to be used for upcoming exhibition proposals. I created and documented my collages then used these images and accompanying text in a new exhibition proposal focused on my collage and installation-based work. I have a show coming up this summer at SOO Visual Art Center.
