An exemplar goal:
As a keen artist and compassionate person, I will create a set of sculptures to portray teenage angst. This will require me to do primary and secondary research around teenage turmoil. It will require deep thinking and analysis, because I will have to really understand how teens are struggling so that when they look at the sculptures they feel I have captured their angst completely and that I am not just depicting the obvious, but going beyond the surface. I will also have to research sculptors and mediums. This project is important because through sculpture we can build empathy for others.
