Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

One outcome would be increasing my skills for creating realistic faces by participating in a workshop. Another outcome would increase my work with bark which I enjoy because each piece has its own character and vibe. And finally, I would also have the opportunity to partner with a mentor, Les Sanders, that is very talented in making his woodcarving realistic. His personal techniques and training could teach me a lot to improve the accuracy of my own work. ?Evaluation will be performed by mentor artist.
