During a recent art class, a group of elders decided to dedicate a couple of hours of creativity and love to our dear animals. Using IMAGINATION, heart shapes in diferent colors and texture materials, we gave life to a very unique, happy and fun ¨animal kingdom.¨
An elder with Alzheimer's was able to draw and cut these heart shapes to create a lovely cartpelar. This creative process is so benefitial for a healthy brain for everyone. We stimulate millions of brain cells and brain activity that can also generate new brain cell connections, better motor coordination and physical functioning.
What a joy is to see these hands in action and behind it, a mind, eyes and a heart giving form to the invisible...
...a lovely cat? Yes. Simply, beyond imagination.
All colors are beautiful to express love for our dear animals, people and nature.
This fish seems to know where is going...
A creative session promotes feelings of self-reliance facilitating opportunities for problem-solving. It is also important to INCLUDE family and staff members in this process.
Love is all we need!!! World Elder Land, WEL, is about nurturing the lives of all community members where elders live. But above all, let´s have FUN in the process...
