I created this picture using an AI app. We can use such apps to create pictures based on older adults' descriptions for them to tell their life stories. @ArtsAgeingNTU #ArtAging #AG6309Wk8AY22T3

I showed the seniors the cartoon character I created with random objects and animated it for them to see and a dancing couple. They were amazed how much technology has advanced. @ArtsAgeingNTU #artaging #AG6309Wk10AY22T3

Mr Yip Yew Chong's artworks always give fond memories of SG of the past. His colouring tips using different materials are inspiring and make coloring enjoyable. Elderly too can colour like a Pro! https://t.co/bPMq93UKMF @ArtsAgeingNTU #artaging #AG6309Wk10AY22T3

At National Arts Gallery's Art with you program, the reminiscent activity on fruits (see picture) bring back my fond memories of a school project where I made a durian fruit including thorns using a balloon & shredded newspapers. @ArtsAgeingNTU #AG6309Wk9AY22T3 #Artaging

I used these items around me to draw this picture: can drink for the head, mouse for the body and plastic clip for 4 limbs. Resources for arts are reachable and around us. It is up to us to create it. @ArtsAgeingNTU #artaging #AG6309Wk9AY22T3

An interesting report by Age UK love later life on the contributors & barriers to creative and cultural activities participation by older people, and different preference of activities by men and women @ArtsAgeingNTU, #CultureWellbeing, #AG6309Wk7AY22T3

A fascinating multi-agency project where youths and seniors come together to share their stories and heritage, and accumulate their reflections in an art piece @ArtsAgeingNTU, #Artculture, #AG6309Wk7AY22T3

Incorporating art in healthcare settings creates a positive experience for patients, their families and healthcare providers. Art can help patients feel less anxiety, cope better with pain and illness, and focus on healing @artsageingntu; #artsinhealthcare; #AG6309Wk6AY22T3

By 2030, 1 in 10 aged 65 may be diagnosed with dementia, hopefully then, there are more social prescribing activities for people with mild/moderate dementia at CCs/RN centres @ArtsAgeingNTU; #AG6309Wk4AY22T3 #artaging https://t.co/QbrjH123Xs

Twigg's "The Body & Ageing" highlights the importance of challenging negative age stereotyping. Seniors doing Parkour is another example of pushing physical limits, staying active and trying new things, and inspiring other seniors to do the same @ArtsAgeingNTU #AG6309Wk2AY22T3
