nscad drawing lab
2004: In response to a funding application from Dalhousie university cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Raymond M. Klein and NSCAD university art educator Bryan Maycock, SSHRC - Canada's Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council - responds positively to an application for funding to equip a laboratory where teaching observational drawing could be studied by artists, educators and scientists.
2013-14: for eighteen months, the NSCAD Lab is mothballed due to a "lack of funded space". Not to be discouraged, the team expands to include Mathew Reichertz (NSCAD) and research activity is relocated to 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 new SSHRC-funded research projects.
2018: Amanda Burk (Nippissing University Fine Art faculty) joins the team. Research expands to involve faculty and students at all three universities.
2020-21: Under Covid 19 protocol, Lab discussions continue courtesy of Zoom and FaceTime, and Dr. Tim Fedak (Nova Scotia Museum) joins the team.
2021: SSHRC awards a new Insight grant to the Drawing Lab.
