Mabye you can help me if you dont mind?

Do you lecture regarding dementia?

I posted yonks ago on here about a lecture i attended once on dementia..... The lady used an artist as an example....

He was a fine artist and continued to paint after his diagnosis....and it shows how reduced his functions where and he began to paint flat faces and really out of,proportion things.......

You havent an idea do you? Sorry...pretty random...just a stab in the dark!!

Hows the sciatica xx

It was especially how humans and dogs had the same flat faces....i never realised that patients cant see 3D features and become scared, people and dogs have similar faces to them etc. it was a brilliant brilliant lecture...xxx

That is so interesting, Tinks.

When I was at school I actually looked into Art Therapy as a career purely as a way to combine my love of art and biology.

Isnt it! Im going to try to get the powerpoint if i can id send you it. It was brilliant really made me look at things differently...imagine people and dogs and other animals having no features!! It also highlighted shiny hospital floors just look like water to patients who suffer and can have difficulty and fear of walking etc! Amazing, but oh so sad. Horrible disease!

Was a lovely painter before, then they become very childlike...by the end it was honestly just a scribble in pencil.....

I really must gey those slides x
