This project focuses on the process of the art-making itself. It has varied materials, textures, encourages varied use of colour, and as always, encourages the use of fine motor skills. During the making of this project, it is interesting to see how the materials interact with one another (how the wax pushes the watercolour paint away). All of these aspects can be used as topics for conversation with your loved one. Be willing to take your time with this project and encourage your loved one to do as much of it as possible. This may require that you put your hands over theirs in order to accomplish these steps. This can be somewhat time-consuming, but your loved one will benefit from the one-to-one engagement.
For this project, you will need:
A variety of tree leaves
Wax crayons
A sheet of paper
Water colour paints
Jar of water
Paintbrush
Napkin for blotting

* Please note* The information I present in my videos is based on the therapeutic benefits of art. This is not the same as art therapy, but rather art as a therapy. The practice of art therapy is done with a certified art therapist in a safe environment.
Without doubt, the long road of dementia comes with a lot of big emotions and other hurdles; for the person with the dementia; the caregiver(s); and other friends and family members. Mental health is very important and I strongly advise that you speak with a qualified professional - whether they be an art therapist, a music therapist, counselor, psychologist, or any other mental health professional who is certified in their field - to negotiate the challenges that you may be facing.
