This year for National Day of Arts in Care Homes we got care homes around the UK to be "Inspired By...."
Creative Mojo Supporting Arts in Care Homes – 24th September 2022 #AICH2022
We studied the final painting of Klimt’s Golden period, The Kiss, and interpreting this through our Inspired By...Klimt workshops.
Residents created lavish pieces of group art adorned with gold, birds, sunflowers, lots of leaves and exotic flowers too.
Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese contemporary artist who works primarily in sculpture and installation, but is also active in painting, performance, video art, fashion, poetry, fiction, and other arts.
Residents designed and created wonderful Yoyoi inspired dresses with butterflies, fruits and vegetables. Experimented with printing and had fun!
Residents studied Claude Monet’s Water Lilies and Japanese Bridge (1899) and created inspiring group pieces and art, exhibited at a local venues.
Painting waterlilies, wildlife including dragonflies, and frogs and not forgetting the famous Japanese bridge, residents loved this classic!
All care homes that participated received a certificate of participation and were entered into a prize draw.
The first three designs drawn each received 100x printed postcards of their design and the big winner also receive an A1 printed frame of their winning design too!
