We discuss the when's and why's of how they got involved with art, along with what they get out of creating it, and other people's reactions to it. Individuals share the techniques they use, how they adapt as the disease progresses, and how their emotions are expressed through their work. Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder​ All levels of artwork and all forms of art are welcome. Here is a brief list of types of art: painting, coloring, woodworking, photography, dance, song, music, poetry... and more. ​  Contact Us If You Are Interested In Joining Us! https://alzheimersspeaks.com/free-educational-resources-form/    2024 Recording Dates will be on the 1st Wednesday of the Month.
