Parkinson Society Workshop

Drawing Workshop

Drawing For Cognitive Exercise Workshop

This two-part workshop invites people with Parkinson's and their carepartners to explore their creativity through drawing. Robert Wilson, a PhD Candidate in the Interdisciplinary Studies Graduate Program at UBC, is looking at drawing as a "social cognitive exercise". After speaking with Dr. Jon Stoessl at the Pacific Parkinson's Research Centre, who connected Wilson with the Society, Wilson hopes to guide participants through various drawing exercises aimed at benefiting their mind-body connection, as well as social engagement.
