ART CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS ART FOR EVERYONE WITH DOROTHY BABBAGE
As a former grade school teacher, Dorothy Babbage loves working with people and is amazed by their creativity and versatility. The best part of an art class is the laughing, talking, and sharing of life experiences, in addition to skills building. Every project presents an opportunity to reminisce about the past or to share a memory while discovering a new technique. This quarter, residents will create seasonal projects, such as spring decorations for your entryway, nature-inspired paintings, and modern paint-marker designs. Dorothy says, “Working at ASRH has been a wonderful addition to my life. I would love to have you join us. You don’t have to be an expert, just be willing to try something new.”
ARTIST TALK AND PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
In celebration of National Photography Month in May, Angela Swan, the Director of Life Enrichment at All Seasons Ann Arbor, will give an Artist Talk about her diverse career as a photographer and community-builder, answer your questions about photography, then set up a fun and engaging portrait shoot. In 2020, she received her Masters of Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. She adapts artmaking to include all abilities, even those that don’t feel creative or who face physical or cognitive challenges.
COMMUNITY SERVICE ART PROGRAMS This quarter we’ll establish our relationship with Meals on Wheels, which seeks to reduce hunger and food insecurity for homebound adults who are frail, medically compromised, or have a short-or long-term disability that impacts their ability to shop and prepare complete, nutritious meals. The residents of All Seasons Rochester Hills will create cards of encouragement, inspired by the Japanese art Etegami, and cheerful decorations that were delivered with each meal!
