Art in the Lab - Mechanosensation

Welcome to Art in the Lab's series of low key, one hour, drawing sessions where we draw from science. One short warm up followed by 10 five-minute drawings curated around a scientific theme.

In honor of Brain Awareness week, this session will focus on sensations that are mediated by physical force - mechanosensation - which governs senses of touch, stretch, hearing and motion. We have some beautiful images curated for this session. We hope you can join us.

RSVP here to participate

Of note: This is not a kid focused event, although children are very welcome to join in together with their favorite interested grown ups. Please don't leave your child unattended in front of the screen, as we don't edit the images or topics for children. In this session, we will be looking mostly at microscope images and pathology slides. That said:

Our events are always free and everyone is welcome. If drawing will lift someone up, please invite them to draw with you. If you can, donate to your favorite social justice or environmental organization. Do what you can. Even a 5 minute drawing is better than no drawings. Take care of yourselves and each other.
