At the start of each year our graphic design students head out for our annual sketch day. We met today under cloudy skies at Assiniboine Park. By 11 am the sun came out to make for a beautiful day. The park offered a variety of locations: the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden, the English Garden and the zoo. We look forward to seeing the sketchbooks Monday morning.
