Why we promote Crafting in seniors
The connection between art and our health.
Creating art is a vital part of human expression and contributes to our shared experience. Through music, dance, stories and other forms of art, we make sense of what’s around us and explore our inner world of thoughts and emotions.
You can read the Creativity and Aging Study conducted by George Washington University for details on the benefits of art therapy for seniors, including:
- Feeling relaxed and in control
- Socializing with others
- Encouraging risk-taking and fun
- Improving cognition and memory
- Strengthening a sense of identity
- Increasing self-esteem
- Nurturing spirituality
- Eliminating boredom
