Art class tutor for elderly
Weekly art class sessions organised to bring together lonely local elderly residents for engaging creative session around a warm cup of tea and a chat, building sense of togetherness and pride of group’s art skills.
Some of the best feedback from students was after following classes:
making of a mask - portrait of oneself from all the things that makes you you,
and when each student did a dot painting inspired by Australian aboriginal art and we put them together as a puzzle in one giant painting,
Christmas time when making Christmas presents like bags and purses, and making a Christmas tree all together from cardboard with drawn decorations,
when making self-portrait into a simple cardboard puppet,
As part of survey for ‘Valuing older people in Manchester’ we drew a map of neighbourhood, marking out areas 5 things liked and 5 disliked in the area.
