Dirty Brushes Hold Portrait Drawing Session on Campus!

Check out Spartan Daily's article on the Dirty Brushes! http://www.news.sjsu.edu/29461/sjsu-artists-hold-portrait-drawing-session


Did you get your portrait drawn on Tuesday?? "SJSU art students drew pictures of their peers on Thursday, Oct. 21 in the Art Department patio, between the Art Building and the Student Union. 'We are doing a portrait drawing session of the public,' said Erin Salazar, a senior pictorial art major."

I didn't get my portrait done this time, hopefully the Dirty Brushes will be out again! We have the best student organizations at SJSU!
