Nature-based social prescription activities that include nature walks, gardening etc provides all of us including elderly a platform to be connected with one another! It makes me feel at peace when I’m with my husband!

Happy that the clay work turns out according to plan! Excited for our dry run and hope everyone gets their desired art work!

OH!Open House is a new thing to me and I’m intrigued to know home owners welcome the public into their house to know more about art! I am definitely interested to go for a house tour with stories behind them!

Look at this digital vase, it shows how Vincent can paint out all similar yet different types of sunflowers in the past! It’s like as though his placement and size of the vase he painted are all the same (but without using technology!)
As a person who has restricted mobility during the exhibition , there were also many routes that are can cater to visitors with physical disabilities too!

Visited the extraordinary Van Gogh Exhibition in SG. People are having a tranquil state of mind just lying around and looking at the projection of various art painted by Vincent Van Gogh. Isn’t this also elderly and wheelchair friendly too!
#AG6309Wk8AY22T3@ArtsAgeingNTU attended the national gallery while on wheelchair. Glad that this museum caters well and is accessible for people with disability however it made me understand that the angle from a seated position is different and may not offer the best view..

Read on https://t.co/4dxVhiZc9l that the Van Gogh museum in Netherlands launches mindfulness programme by using Van Gogh’s life story and art to discuss mental health and expressions. I am excited to attend this exhibition in SG too!

Yesterday, NMS opened a cosy area that is dementia-friendly and it’s heartening to see the society accepting them! https://t.co/X9iocXefij

Amazed at the amount of greeneries that Apex Harmony Lodge put in for the persons with dementia to enjoy and be surrounded with. Nature indeed makes all, including me, to have a very calm and soothing inner being when I’m there!

Mural walls. This makes the past seems to come alive. Saw this at Apex Harmony Lodge and has greatly inspired me art is indeed very therapeutic and it applies to all, no matter what age, what dysfunction! Good for future nursing homes!

Came across an article that shows the potential of Art Therapy on improving cognition. Understand that it can be different from the use of art as a medium but it definitely open the door for society to start embracing art!

I recently learn about forest bathing, and I feel this is an activity that can be universal no matter how old we are. When being surrounded by nature, it stimulates all 6 senses of ours, it restores my vitality and rejuvenates me a lot!

Items of the past that are being presented in a way that allows the public to touch and be in contact with the texture. This taught me of how else I can present to make items of the past elderly and dementia friendly!

Came across a peranakan museum which sets up furniture and layout that depicts how people live in the past. No matter what culture/race it is, this inspires me of how a dementia nursing home can be set up for reminiscence and therapy!
