About
The workshop is part of a larger project in collaboration with Professor Francesca Happé, of the Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre (SGDP) – ''Taking a line for a walk'': exploring the space between intelligence, creativity, drawing, and neurodiversity. Taking a critical stance on the role of drawing in psychological testing for IQ and cognitive development, Peter is developing a library of playful drawing exercises, which promote a diversity of stylistic responses to novel challenges with no “right answers”.
