Drawing and Cognition Research and Education Symposium:

How can drawing act to help us think, learn and understand?

Drawing performances, presentations and workshops will explore how the drawing process can work to materialize and extend our ideas and perceptions of ourselves, others and the world in new ways.

Open to all educators, artists and others!  No prior training in drawing required.

Dr. Kantrowitz, the coordinator for the event, tells us that they still have space to include additional workshops, if there are those who think might be interested and have something unique to offer.
