This report looks at how an art-based workshop assisted undergraduate nursing students to explore their experiences and beliefs about death and dying. While this study focused on an educational strategy delivered to student nurses, it is an approach that could be used with other health and social care professionals. Close and critical observation of the selected art increased participant understanding and insight of the many experiences and interpretations of death and dying.
