The value of acquiring quantitative skills presents itself in a variety of ways and is a useful skill set in the Artist's tool box.

Quantitative skills are useful in my field and demonstrated in the following ways:
- Calculating the shrinkage rate in clay bodies
- Glaze calculations
- Adjusting scale to convey meaning
- Matting and framing two dimensional work
- Spatial relationships
- Perspective
- Time/resource management
- Budgeting
My transcript will show a successful completion of the math requirements.
The relegation of quantitative skills to the domain of mathematics poses a narrow perspective of possibilities. The reality of life finds us using our brains to quantify relationships on a multitude of levels. The imagination has the ability to recognize many ways that patterning, rhythm, and measure enhance and enrich the world in microscopic, mundane, and universal realms which, in turn, broaden, awaken and invigorate the two hemispheres of the brain stimulating the formulation of profound possibilities.
