“Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life.” ~ Pablo Picasso

Creating art offers many health benefits.

Some of those health benefits are increasing creativity, boosting self-esteem, cultivating emotional resilience, increasing brain connectivity and plasticity, enhancing social skills, reducing and resolve conflicts, and reducing stress.

 

Creating art offers these health benefits for people of all ages, but it offers a special opportunity for aging seniors to find control and purpose in their life again.

 

As some seniors age, they can develop chronic illnesses that can negatively affect every aspect of their life. In this post we’ll explain more about how using art as a form of therapy helps improve aging seniors mental health, cognitive abilities, and sensory-motor functions.

​
