It’s just a starter list to get you started. You could center sessions on just one color or add art experiences to the mix. Speaking of art, I’d like to share a great YouTube video that shows the effectiveness of the arts for those dealing with dementing illness. See how these people respond.
Did you know Frank Sinatra conducted 12 classical compositions on colors? Titled “Tone Poems of Color” this album of was released in 1956. There is also poetry by Norman Sickel to go with the compositions. While many may not know about this album, the classical music lovers may enjoy it.
Tomorrow’s post will be again on colors but this time for preschoolers!
