I've recently signed on to give "art lessons" to Alzheimer patients at nearby Linden Ponds.
We meet every other Wednesday for an hour.
Yesterday we talked about landscapes.
I passed around postcards with images of different, simple landscapes by various artists.

| They all get so serious! |
 |
| I love this. This woman told me her painting made her "happy". |
 |
| The sky in this is amazing. |
 |
| I couldn't believe this woman attempted this. But she loved the house. |
This has become incredibly fulfilling, on so many levels.
I'm working on a separate blog that will focus on this experience alone.
Title and address TBA.
I admire you so much for doing this! I am also impressed with the paintings your students did. I know that this will be a joyous and gratifying experience for both student and teacher! :-)
ReplyDeleteNancy, I got goosebumps, and then tears in my eyes when I read your post. What a wonderful experience this must be . . . for you, the patients and their families.
ReplyDeleteNancy, What a great thing you are doing, the ladies did a wonderful job with their paintings. I will be interested in your blog about the class. Your generosity and caring is most inspiring. Thank you
ReplyDeleteNancy,
ReplyDeleteYou got me with this one. I hope one day to be able to "volunteer teach" at the place where my mom is- She has alzheimers and I can see what a difference this made for you and the seniors that participated. I would love to see your blog and be able to give back in the same way one day soon. Please keep me posted and thanks for doing this!
What a wonderful act of giving.....and I love the paintings.
