Benefit Of Art workshops for Seniors.

​

Greater Self-Expression

Seniors may have challenges with verbal communication due to mental or physical deterioration. Art therapy provides an alternative method of expression for their feelings and thoughts. A professional therapist can guide seniors through creative projects that allow them to express themselves freely.

 

New Thought Processes

Art therapy can also help people think differently about life by allowing them to engage parts of their body and brain that they do not use frequently. Exploring new movements and thoughts can help to reframe their perspectives and find new joy.

​

Improved Memory

Practising creative arts can help seniors who suffer from memory loss caused by Alzheimer’s or dementia. Painting and music may even help to uncover forgotten memories about loved ones and old times. It can also present those living with memory loss a moment of clarity and the ability to function optimally
