Eye-opening experience with classmates at National Gallery learning about Art-with-You program developed jointly with Dementia Singapore towards a dementia-inclusive society to support well-being of dementia elderly & caregivers @artsageingntu; #artaging; #AG6309Wk7AY22T3

Do seniors understand Participatory Arts that is around active involvement in art making & not observing? More initiatives needed to raise awareness and drive engagement for better health &well-being of elderly & caregivers. @artsageingntu; #artaging; #AG6309Wk6AY22T3

[Wai Mun Wong @aWaimun]

How can arts benefit elderly? Aging may mean losing cognitive function. Numerous studies have proven that regular participation in physical exercise especially dancing, considered as an art, can reverse the signs of aging to the brain @ArtsAgeingNTU #artaging #AG6309Wk6AY22T3

Ageing in Chinatown - a feature wall art - Is this the aim of promoting history, culture, environment and ambience for better social connectedness and psychological well-being of elderly or for tourists ? @artsageingntu; #artaging; #AG6309Wk4AY22T3

[Wai Mun Wong @aWaimun]

Swindells et al 2013 identified eudemonic-themed arts activities provided a sense of purpose & cognitive, creative opportunities. More research into if sustained engagement will prove continued mental well-being especially in elderly. @artsageingntu; #artaging; #AG6309Wk3AY22T3

We spent our lives pursuing happiness that is subjective. Learnt of hedonistic happiness relating with experiences and enjoyment of them, while eudaimonia happiness through finding meaning in those experiences. What makes you happy? @artsageingntu; #artaging; #AG6309Wk3AY22T3

@ArtsAgeingNTU #ageing #AG6309Wk2AY22T3 Successful aging involved good health, high cognitive physical abilities & active social involvement (Rowe & Kahn 1987). 2023 Action Plan for Successful Ageing in Singapore, call for 3Cs: Care, Contribution and Connectedness! #ifeelyoungsg

[Wai Mun Wong @aWaimun]

@ArtsAgeingNTU #ageing #AG6309Wk2AY22T3 Many perceive aging negatively being old, declining health & functioning. We should adopt a positive attitude as our frame of mind will have psychological & physical consequences to our health & create prejudice against the elderly.

Is this art? My first attempt to create something online with a few classmates through “Take the line for a walk” activity. Never knew 1 simple set of standard instructions to different people can create different outcomes.
