Friary Care’s Wonderful Art for ‘Art in Care Homes Week’!
We have had the lovely artist, Sarah Jane Ross, in the home this week in order to explore and bring out the artistic side of our amazing residents.
For this year’s ‘Arts in Care Homes’ week, the residents of Friary House have created amazing paintings on the theme of ‘Nature Inside’. A selection of nature-based items (shells, stones, feathers, rosemary, autumn leaves, bay leaves, pine cone, driftwood and twigs) were displayed on the table for residents to choose from. Residents then assembled their art using the items as their ‘paint’, with either singular or multiple objects grouped together.
The artwork that’s been created has been vivid and full of movement. Artist Sarah Jane Ross, who led the session, said: “Residents responded really well to the still life objects – there is visibly a lively feel to their work as a result of painting directly from nature.”
We’ve all had a really wonderful time, and really enjoyed getting in touch with our artistic selves, and we hope you enjoy our art too!
