BEHAVIORAL

Visual Arts Training

The art training program has been designed as a drawing program and focuses on basic visual art concepts (the elements \[e.g., colour and line\] and principles \[e.g., proportion and balance\] of design). Each week has a different activity and a different focus (one activity per week focusing on one element and principle of design). Each art training program will occur one hour per day, two days per week, for eight weeks. The art training program will take place at the participants' respective dementia care location in an area separate from waitlist control participants and uninvolved clients. All art programs are free for participants.
