We welcomed Creative Pathways into our home for a wonderful watercolour painting session with our residents.
What a talented group we have — the creativity shown throughout each session was amazing to see. Residents were taught different painting techniques, learning how to use a variety of brushes and watercolour styles to create beautiful pieces of art. Each session began by practising a new technique before putting their new skills into creating their own masterpieces. From peaceful landscapes and calming seascapes to detailed portraits, every painting was unique and full of personality.
The sessions were not only creative and fun, but also incredibly meaningful for many of our residents living with dementia. Art activities like these can help encourage self-expression, improve confidence, support concentration and spark memories from the past. Many residents shared stories about painting and drawing at home years ago, bringing back treasured memories and conversations amongst friends.
There was lots of laughter, encouragement and pride throughout the activity, and it was lovely seeing everyone so engaged and enjoying themselves together. We cannot wait to welcome more creative sessions into our home soon.
