Everyone Can Draw: Drawing as a Conceptual Tool in STEM is a
four-part, hands-on series instructed by Professor Catherine Heard
of the School of Creative Arts and delivered online through
Blackboard. We all draw as children, yet at a certain point in our
lives, many of us stop drawing and begin saying “I can’t draw.” In
four short classes, you will learn how drawing plays a key role in
our daily lives, how it can be used to communicate STEM concepts to
general audiences, and how it can serve as a tool for recording
information in the field and lab. In addition, you will learn about
how contemporary artists use the concepts that we will explore in
this Masterclass. Throughout this series, you will build a
portfolio that will be comprised of instructor-led exercises during
class time as well as take-home activities to solidify the concepts
being taught. You will be encouraged to learn about your own
creative process, allowing you to utilize drawing as a conceptual
tool in future applications, particularly in STEM. Open to all
University of Windsor students. Recommended Course Materials: • HB,
