Art Programs & Projects

Cheryl Pannabecker• Acrylic Painting on Canvas: explore painting concepts

and techniques to make a keepsake painting on repositionable canvas that can adhere to walls, doors, glass, etcetera

· All that Glitters: Did you know that working with sparkly substances goes back to cave painting? We will learn the history of glitter, and then create our own sparkly masterpieces, transforming simple collage pictures we will make into glittery creations using the wide array of glitter products now available. This project can easily be transformed into a Holiday or Valentine’s project.

· Sea Shell Art: Cultures living along the oceans have often incorporated seashells into their crafts and artwork. We will look at images of how shells have been used. We will then create our own picture using an assortment of shells and colored sand.

· Symbolists: We will be looking at their moody dreamlike paintings that are highly illustrative. We will then make our own “symbolist” art. Each participant will choose three symbols—both collage and stamp elements-- to incorporate into a painting. How these symbols are juxtaposed and colored, will determine a new and unique story. Participants will work with acrylic paints on canvas paper.

Every Picture Tells a Story- with James Rosenberger“Every Picture Tells a Story” (EPTAS) is an image-based program created by Therapeutic Storyteller and Musician, James D. Rosenberger. For the past eight years his monthly, themed programs offered through Audible Therapies (www.audibletherapies.com), have been warmly embraced by activity professionals from skilled nursing on up to independent living communities. Based on these experiences, he has learned to tailor programs to the cognition levels of a specific audience and setting. Mr. Rosenberger begins to involve people with his trademark music offerings and then the interactive story fun begins!

Developed originally for people with all levels of dementia and in memory care units, EPTAS proves residents with memory loss can still create, imagine, and have fun. Through an interactive «show and tell» of a variety of fanciful to real images, Mr. Rosenberger guides participants to share and create a spontaneous story by reacting and considering what›s happening in the images provided. There are several program types to choose from:

EPTAS A—“Greatest Hits”, a diverse collection of people, persons and things taken from Mr. Rosenberger’s 40+ years of photos.
