Art in care homes 💚
Please take a look at these!
All these pieces have been done by residents in various care homes 🥹
None are professionals, some have limited eyesight, some having to use their left hand instead, some have dementia, some struggle with fine detail, most say they were useless at art when they were younger.....the list goes on.
But wow, just wow 👌
All these beautiful pieces of artwork were achieved during my art sessions.
Simple step by step guidance, a limited colour palette, using household items to add fun (tin foil, balloons, plastic straws, forks, cotton buds, ruler, toothbrush) and a relaxing atmosphere all help to give the residents a huge sense of pride, achievement and wellbeing.
They never cease to amaze me - just brilliant 👏 👏👏
