Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

More Minnesotans, especially those in the Southwest Minnesota Region, will be able to participate in the arts. This grant will allow me to travel to a college in the metro area to find out what opportunities Minnesota College of Art and Design has to offer. This opportunity will give me the opportunity to have a project displayed for a parent art exhibit. It will also help me better understand how to prepare an art portfolio which will be useful in the future, when I apply to colleges or if I want to enter any art shows.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I completed the week-long pre-college studio intensive class. I learned how to use Photoshop software. I learned specific information about careers in Illustration and Graphic Design and that there are jobs available in these fields. I gained insight about what college I want to attend in the future.
