The Drawing Lab

The Drawing Lab, located at NSCAD’s Academy Campus, is a SSHRC-funded collaboration between researchers at NSCAD and Dalhousie Universities. The research being conducted at The Drawing Lab seeks to determine whether the notion of the 'good eye' is more than a metaphor. The methodology employed involves quantifying, mapping and comparing patterns of eye-movement in subjects who are drawing directly from observation.

Beginning in August 2015, The Drawing Lab will employ 1 to 2 MFA students as Research Assistants for roughly 5 to 10 hours per week, based on their interests, abilities and other time commitments. Rate of pay is anticipated to begin at $18.00/hour. Research Assistantships may involve testing and/or tutoring in drawing.
