DETAILED PLAN
INVENTORY OF RESOURCES
My project will consist of using the Universities resources through my Ceramic, Sculpture, and
Chinese language classes. I’ll being using my mentors Susan Harris, Russell Wrankle, and Dr. Qingping
Liu, to make this project a reality. The construction of the wall hanging piece will be performed in the
ceramic studio, as well as the bisque firing, glazing, and glaze firing. My material has already been
procured, with very little out of pocket expense. In case of unexpected cost, I have budgeted $30
for miscellaneous cost. Once the tile pieces are completed, I will take the piece to the sculpture studio
and construct the frame and install tiles into the frame. At this point I will be seeking advice from Suma,
Russell and Susan, as to the best way to install piece at caps.
Before this can even begin I have been and be practicing ceramic tile building methods, and the
best way to put the separate pieces together. Dr. Liu’s help will be needed in the translation of my
poem, and in the practice stage of writing the characters, Chinese calligraphy style. I will need two
months of this process.
RISK ASSESSMENT
(Low) The two studios I will be working at, has HIGH STANDARDS risk management.

The poem, translation, calligraphy, and reciting of the poem is my main obstacle. Practice, practice,
Practice, and of course practice.
