The Dean Visits Paris!

A group of people walking outside.

Dean Tsolakis made a visit to Paris to to host a drawing boot camp for the students. Throughout his visit, the students did different drawing technique exercises, learned very valuable advice about drawing, and got to explore the city of Paris in a very different way. We truly appreciate Dean Tsolakis for his time spent and advice given in his time here in Paris.
