Art from the heart will be an event group members Kyle, Monique, Iris and I will be planning for the BaySide Community Center. In this event we plan to hold a group activity where elders are able to create their own paintings. The goal for this activity is for seniors to have fun and learn something new. Elders will be provided with light refreshments, a painting tutorial, and art supplies. It will be a casual event where seniors can unwind themselves through art and enjoy their cup of wine. This event will be an opportunity for seniors to experience a fun challenge and learn new skills. Studies have shown that painting is a fun way to relieve stress, promote positive feelings, and create a sociable environment. This event will enable them to have a chance to express their ideas through an easel as well as with the local community.
Throughout the half of the class period my group members and I discussed about HAP’s and how we will be planning the art event. So far we have sent an email to the BaySide Center and will await for their response to confirm about the proposed painting event. We also be going in person to discuss further details. Professor Bussell and Lewis have reviewed the group idea and gave us guidance and tips in how we will able to plan for our event. We will be looking into art supplies from many arts and crafts stores and comparing reasonable prices. Also, will be finding a professional painting instructor. Ideally we want someone to guide and provide a step by step painting tutorial. Art supplies will be decided when the painting instructor is confirmed. Overall, the group and I are very excited and can’t wait to have everything come together.
