| Abstract: | A discourse exists within dementia care that establishes visual art as a psychosocial therapeutic tool to aid memory, communication and behaviour, and self-expression. The application of art therapy for people living with dementia is wide ranging, with several studies reporting improvements in social skills, increased self-awareness, reduced anxiety and agitation. In this chapter, we seek to widen this discourse and to explore the application of art – specifically visual art – and the adoption of evidence-based art as a medium to deepen our understanding of dementia and to encourage transdisciplinary practice and knowledge exchange. |
