Choose event information:
Join artist, Lisa Gornick, in this online session for a fun and easy art-based exploration of nursing and the climate crisis!
The hour-long drawing session is suitable for all levels of experience - the atmosphere will be one of encouragement, easy exploration and generally lots of warmth and fun. The workshop will start off with simple drawing observation games, then will explore different drawing styles while thinking about sustainability and recycling in the healthcare system. You will create drawings that express reactions and feelings towards the climate emergency. Lisa will throw out prompts for drawings to gather your views, suggestions for change, and your dreams and strategies of how to enable the NHS’s pledge to be carbon neutral by 2050.
The ideas, suggestions and thoughts expressed through the drawings created in the workshop will go towards the research Lisa is doing for her live drawing show that will take place in March at The RCN headquarters.
