Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Cross cultural dialogue: My research of these two rivers will bring a larger awareness about cross cultural dialogue through art, fostering new relationships. Art experience: My project on the Ganges and Mississippi Rivers would complement this unique experience fostered by the Minnesota Marine Art Museum.The capstone event will be recorded via audio and video devices, art viewers will fill out an on-site questionnaire which rates and records each viewer's experience, and all forms of records (audio, video, and questionnaire) will be collected and interpreted to evaluate the outcome.
