The Healing Power of Art in Aged Care Australia
Art that helps the elderly identify and reconnect with their natural world...
Often, elderly people within aged care facilities may not feel as connected to the world as they once used to, especially those living with dementia and mobility restrictions. The great outdoors may not be easily accessible anymore, but it’s still important that they’re able to connect with the natural world, particularly local places that they can relate to.
By Delon makes available stunning local aerial nature/landscape photography that will without a doubt stimulate the visual senses, by bringing well known local natural places of beauty from the outside world into aged care centres within localities close to the vicinity that the breathtaking images were captured. This will undoubtedly provide calming and familiar subject matter for the viewers to engage with providing positive visual stimulation and a starting point for conversation.
It should be noted that for multiple prints purchased in a single transaction, we do offer volume discounts.
LIVE INTERACTIVE FINE ART WORKSHOPS FOR AGED CARE RESIDENTS
Due to the current COVID-19 crisis and related restrictions within WA, the live workshops have, as a result, temporarily been put on hold until further notice.
Give your residents a fascinating, intellectually stimulating experience that's pure interactive artistic genius - Delon is an imaginative and talented West Australian creative, an artist who will on the day be guided with his topic subject matter by his audience (aged care residents) and will paint from his inner mind's eye...
His audience actively participates in the creation of the artwork by contributing to the topic of the artwork subject matter via relaxed chatting with the artist on a chosen topic that's humorous, non-stressful and void of political opinion and prejudice. We make available a range of fun topics designed specifically to bring joy, laughter and light to it's intended audience.*
Delon transforms the conversational information received from his audience into pure live visual expressionism in the form of brushstrokes, colour, form and much more to create a work of art from his inner minds eye that's full of meaning, shared intellect and thought-provoking questions, answers & stories - the end result will go beyond just art - it will be a piece of "Fine Art"!
As Delon paints, he will describe to his audience what he's doing, giving plenty of tips and tricks from composition, tonal values, texture, chiaroscuro and more for a day packed full of fun, smiles, and laughter!
