Proposal: [Drawing]
[subtitle that helps describe the project]
Needs and Opportunities
Are you solving a problem
for yourself or others? How will this project be a learning and growing
experience? What is your goal? I am solving a problem for myself because I am
learning how to draw, this will be a learning experience because I am learning
to draw.
Audience / Clients / Users
Explain who will benefit
from your project. Who is you audience – who might be interested in following
your blog and learning about your project? Other people who want to learn about
drawing.
Mentors
Who can help you with this
project? Who will you need to contact and what will you ask them to commit to
in helping you? My parents can help me draw and the art teacher at the school.
I will need to ask them to help me.
Timeline
What is your monthly
timeline for this project? I want to see a list of deliverables with deadlines.
You may find that the timeline needs adjustment during the course of the year,
which may be fine. Check in with me if that’s the case.

Product
What is the actual product
you will show this spring? This project may or may not be made of atoms or
bits, but you must have something to show. I’m not interested seeing a bunch of
great ideas at the end of the year. I want to see things. I will show pictures
that I have drawn at school and at home.
Technology
You will have to use
technology in some way on presentation day – think about how you can use the
tools available to add life into your project and enhance what you are doing.
(Video, laptops, apps, cell phones, music, etc.) I will use a laptop to look up
images to draw.
Reality Check
I am looking for you to
shoot for the moon here and do anything you can dream of, but even moonshots
need budgets. What equipment are you going to need? What other capital
expenditures do you anticipate, and how will you meet them? Pencils, colored
pencil, and paper, and I might get my drawings laminated if they are good.
Possible Roadblocks
What other roadblocks can
you predict – time, resources, motivation etc. Explain what you might do when
you come to each roadblock to reach your goal. I probably will get mad and lose
my motivation.
Conclusion
Wrap it up. Why are you
fired up about this project? Inspire me to support you, and give me a great
reason to approve your project. I used to love drawing and was really good at
it but I stopped doing it.
