The Pleasure of Art

Our Art class provides an opportunity for participants to engage in meaningful self- expression, pleasure, and enjoyment as well as in enhanced communication with others in the group. It can put people in touch with their life’s memories and experiences. Art is often a powerful method to express the physical changes as well as the emotional difficulties in relation to dementia.
Benefits of participating in an art group include:
• Increased brain stimulation
• Improved memory
• Provides a sense of achievement.
• Allows individuals to express their creativity.
• Boosts physical strength.
• Enhances mood and general wellbeing.
Our art class is facilitated by our wonderful teacher Caroline Hyland who is also a trained Occupational Therapist. Caroline’s commitment, creativity and passion for her work is exemplary and she creates an atmosphere of joy and fun each week.
