79. How to Use Art in Aging and Dementia Caregiving With Mary Beth Flynn
Caregiving in dementia is often discussed in terms of challenges and solutions. But have you considered the role of art in this journey?
This episode brings a fresh perspective on using art to deepen connections with those living with dementia.
Artfully Aging is a watercolor art program designed for seniors of all skill and care levels. Locally, in St. Louis, Artfully Aging offers live in person watercolor sessions in senior living communities as well as a variety of community settings.
In addition to the live art sessions they offer seniors and senior organizations across the US the ability to order from a menu of projects on their website. This second option includes prepared ready to paint watercolor projects with access to accompanying "How To" videos shipped to seniors and/or their caregivers or activity staff. The holistic approach makes each art session meaningful and therapeutic.
Give Away:
Artfully Aging will give away (4) separate packets of (5) ready to paint watercolor projects (of their choosing) to the first four individuals who email in their request to [email protected]
