We just received great news about our #InspireArt #watercolorbrushpens being used for #arttherapy in #memorycare. Here is a snippet: . "I have been facilitating a weekly painting group for people living at home with mild to moderate dementia. While I lead the class, their caregiving partners have a support group for an hour with our facility's SocialWorker. I work with the Memories in the Making model, endorsed by the American Alzheimer's Association. While some of the participants are very change averse and unwilling to try a new technique, for others, having the brush pens that Jenny donated has been wonderful! . One woman was struggling with water color brushes, always forgetting to dip her brush in water whether between colors or just to continue with one color. The brush pens allow her to really experience color and she is easily prompted to try new colors, where for years she just doodled along with one color. Also the set up is so much easier--no water bowl, no paints or brushes to clean before or afterwards. . Another gentleman uses a combination of brush pens and standard water colors to great effect. He likes to use the pens for detail over a background that he applies using a brush. His resulting work is very interestingand beautiful, with the background color shimmering through. . We are so grateful for the gift of watercolor pens and I know we will be using them for years. When a new person joins the group he or she will be introduced to the pens right away so there will not be a need to adjust to them. Thanks, Jenny!" .
