Our Arts Exploration Workshop II reminded me we need not always view technology as an obstacle nor fear drawing 😆 Art and technology can work together for health gains including improved self-esteem!

Diversion murals in dementia care settings deter exit-seeking behaviours. The art aspect can also function as conversation starters. Perhaps something worth replicating in our eldercare centres

An immersive art experience during the Van Gogh SG exhibition. In a way, it felt like mindfulness in practice as i had to concentrate on the present - the music & projections. Could immersive art be expanded to benefit older adults? @ArtsAgeingNTU #artevaluation #AG6309Wk5AY22T3

Elderly cat feeders are common in Singapore. Taken on a walk in 2016, this photo reminds me that finding purpose in ageing may mean the ability to extend one’s love towards smaller creatures & perhaps this is a display of aging in grace 🐈‍⬛ @ArtsAgeingNTU #ageing #AG6309Wk2AY22T3
