Relaxing Art Session

With the beginning of a new year we decided to introduce new ideas within activities. One of the ideas discussed alongside residents in an activities meeting, was to begin a weekly relaxing art session. That would be designated to creating artwork for the walls of the home, calling it ‘Bringing the home to life’.

As our residents have had little opportunity to go outside and appreciate the natural world around us we have decided to bring the outside in. Therefore, the artwork will be of natural forms, flowers, leaves, trees, animals etc. Whilst listening to sounds from nature and an on-screen motion film of the natural world. Inviting the residents to be creative with the use of different mediums and their own artistic flare.

The residents will also be able to have an input of what they would like to see on the walls. Ideas of making certain areas themed, one more coastal, forest, lake or garden scenes have ben suggested. With every week the residents will be invited to share their ideas to grow this project with the hopes of creating enough to present the artwork in an end of year art gallery display. Where residents and who knows maybe even family, can come to enjoy looking at the residents artwork on display, offering points of discussion, drinks and nibbles to celebrate the residents creative abilities.
