Join artist Laura Ferguson for a discussion of her work and a drawing workshop that will teach you to see the human body from an artist's perspective. Art supplies will be provided, and all levels of drawing experience are welcome.

This event will be held in the Anderson Conference Room, located on the ground floor of the School of Medicine and Dentistry. If you enter through the main entrance to the School of Medicine and head straight, you'll pass through two sets of glass doors and the room will be directly in front of you. Please see the attached map for more information.

Space is limited, so register to reserve your spot now!

Laura Ferguson has made her own body the subject of her work, finding beauty in a curving spine and exploring the connections between pain, consciousness, and creativity. From 2008-2020, she was the Artist in Residence in the Master Scholars Program in Humanistic Medicine at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. The innovative Art & Anatomy drawing class she created has received national attention and inspired a book, Art & Anatomy: Drawings, a journal article, “Cutting Deep: The Transformative Power of Art in the Anatomy Lab,” and a short film, “How To Draw A Human Heart.” Since 2020, Laura has continued to guest teach and to advocate for the value of art-making in medical education.
