nscad drawing lab
2004: SSHRC, Canada's Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council, respond to an application from Dalhousie University cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Ray Klein and me for funds to help establish a drawing laboratory at NSCAD University where scientists and artists collaborate in studies of observational drawing: an interface of art, science and education.
2013-14: for eighteen months, the Lab is 'mothballed' due to a lack of funded space at NSCAD. Not discouraged, the team expands to include Mathew Reichertz (NSCAD) and research continues based at Dalhousie's Department of Psychology and Neuroscience.
2015: Dr. John Christie (Dalhousie neuroscience) joins the team and the Drawing Lab is reestablished in NSCAD's Academy building with research newly funded by SSHRC.
2018: Amanda Burk (Nippissing University Fine Art faculty) joins the team and the research expands to involve all three universities.
2020: Under the watchful eye of Covid 19, Lab discussions and writing continues courtesy of FaceTime and Zoom. Dr. Tim Fedak (Nova Scotia Museum) joins the team.
