Drawing Across the Disciplines: Generating Images Webinar – May 2, 2025
Session Description
May 2 2025 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
The Centre for Research & Innovation Support (CRIS) presents the next session in the Drawing Across the Disciplines series Generating Images. In this session, we explore how generating images—figures, diagrams, and pictures—is fundamental to supporting and creating research outputs. Faculty panelists, drawn from Studio Art, Physics and Chemistry, and Astronomy will discuss how they approach generating images, what their learnings and best practices are, and offer ways working with, archiving, and manipulating images in their research practices.
As with past the Drawing Across the Discipline sessions, this webinar will be followed by a hands-on, limited enrolment workshop. The workshop will focus on developing and refining two research outputs: Graphical Abstracts and Research Posters and provide participants with grounding in the concepts of elements and principles of design will be discussed to create eye-catching and informative visual elements. The workshop coordinators will provide 20min 1:1 design coaching to all participants.

Learning Objectives
At the end of the webinar participants will:
- Compare different disciplinary uses of images in research programs and outputs;
- Gain a deeper understanding of how generating images for specific scholarly contexts (artworks, research posters, articles, digital media) is crucial to communicating research;
- Describe different ways of generating and analyzing images across disciplines
