NSA - Art Therapy for Preventing Dementia
About This Course
This course aims to raise awareness and impart knowledge of preventing dementia by strengthening participants' ability to reconnect with their senses and emotions through sensorimotor processes to stimulate sensory memory, storytelling and tactile expressions. The sensory rich and tactile experiences in creative activities like painting, claywork, weaving, or mixing colours help to enhance cognitive functioning, emotional expression, sensory processing, memory revitalization, and identity building.
Participants will have better understanding of dementia and how artmaking can be used as a creative and sustainable tool to help prevent or delay dementia.
Participants will also create several artworks through first-hand therapeutic activities, including claywork, sensory painting, memory collage, and creative poetry.
