The Ageing Creatively Research Project run by Newcastle University at the Hatton Gallery in now well underway...
The focus is on 'Older People', classed as 55 and above...in which i facilitate 'Art Appreciation' workshops based around the Hattons Exhibitions and Collections.
It is really interesting to design sessions that really push individual boundaries of the possibilities of exploration and i feel that over time they have become more open to activity and what 'Art Appreciation' is.
Newcastle University are researching through multiple art forms including Art Making, Music, Creative Writing and Theatre to see which is the most beneficial to Older People - thinking about overall Health and Well-being.
KEEP POSTED TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE PROJECT AND THE RESEARCH RESULTS!
