Urban Sketching Symposium Paraty 2014 – Day Four Highlights

Today was the final day of the Symposium, even though everyone felt like they had just arrived. It is the same every year – it never feels like enough time! We are happy about the connections that people have made here and we are proud of the things they have learned. We hope that participants take the good feeling of the Symposium back home with them, and continue meeting, sketching and sharing through the year.

Until next year, here are some highlights from Saturday.
