<｜begin▁of▁sentence｜>### Instruction:
As an instructional designer, you have been assigned to develop a course on visualization techniques for network analysis using Python. To achieve this, you need to demonstrate how to use the `get_vertices` function from NetworkArtist in COMPAS' compas_ghpython.artists package to obtain the VertexCollection artist for drawing or further visualization steps. The course will focus on utilizing this functionality to create engaging and informative network visualizations for educational and professional purposes.
### Response:
from compas.datastructures import Mesh
from compas_ghpython.artists import NetworkArtist

# Create a COMPAS network
network = Mesh.from_obj('network.obj')

# Create a NetworkArtist for visualization
artist = NetworkArtist(network)

# Get VertexCollection artist
vertices_artist = artist.get_vertices()

# Draw vertices (specific to the visualization framework, e.g., Rhino)
for vertex_artist in vertices_artist:
    vertex_artist.draw()
