     Pierce - European Landmark Project

     
     

    Pretend you are an engineer/artist who has been approached by a client requesting a one-of-a-kind collage displaying 8 to 10 of Europe’s most notable landmarks. Your client is willing to pay all expenses and materials associated with this project as well as $150,000.00 for the completed project. Your client has made it clear the artwork must be hand-crafted, to display on the wall (canvas, poster, cloth, frame or shadow box), and cannot be larger than 8 ½ x 11. You decide a trip to Europe is necessary to truly get a feel for the landmarks in person.  You plan to visit as many European landmarks as possible to assist you with selecting the landmarks to be used for the project.
