nscad drawing lab
2004: SSHRC, Canada's Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council, responded to an application from Dalhousie University cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Ray Klein and me for funds to help establish a Drawing Laboratory at NSCAD University. Since that time, scientists from Dalhousie and artists from NSCAD have sustained a collaboration to study observational drawing in an interface of art, science and education.
2013-14: for eighteen months, the Lab was 'mothballed' due to a lack of funded space at NSCAD. However, not to be discouraged, the team expanded to include Mathew Reichertz (NSCAD) and, based at Dalhousie's Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, the work of the Lab continued.
2015: Dr. John Christie (Dalhousie neuroscience) joined the team and the Drawing Lab was reestablished in NSCAD's Academy building with research newly funded by SSHRC.
2018: Amanda Burk (Nippissing University Fine Art faculty) joined the team and our research expanded to involve all three universities.
2020: Under the watchful eye of Covid 19, Lab discussions and writing continues courtesy of FaceTime and Zoom
