Special Assignment!
Graphics 2 students have been commissioned to create caricature drawings of our school board members. This was a challenging project requiring students to capture the essential recognizable features of each person using poor quality image references found on the Internet (since this was a surprise, couldn't go e-mailing them for pictures). All in all, a pretty good job!
