Using Art To Assist Your Aging Parents
Art making can be a wonderful way to stimulate, and transform boredom and complacency into aliveness and fun. One woman I worked with had just moved into a retirement community had this to say:
“ Everything around here was so hum-drum—then I enrolled in the creative expression class---and now I feel like a teenager and I am 92!
If you have had no experience with art making—working with a trained art therapist can set you on the road to playfulness, joy and beauty. Doing art on your own may work for some, however there is an energy that transpires while doing it with group or even with just one other person.
