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. 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 is 'mothballed' due to a lack of funded space at NSCAD. Not to be discouraged, the team expands to include Mathew Reichertz (NSCAD) and, based at Dalhousie's Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, research continues.
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 our 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
