CSI Downsview: Creative Scene Investigation
Philip Chadwick, Environment Canada, Toronto, ON, Canada
Creative Scene Investigation (CSI) investigates the passion of Canadian artists for weather as well as the meteorology behind some of the finest work ever produced. These artists were honest and accurate observers of their inspiration: quite simply, the natural world around them. The science of forensic meteorology applied through CSI uncovers the secrets locked in the details recorded on canvas. Specific deals about their location, direction of view and the weather before, during and after recording the scene can be sleuthed. To attempt to appreciate this art without first putting it into the context of the natural world would be missing the point of the artist. CSI will be a fun and unique look at the work of Canadian artists. Recorded presentation
