This compilation explores the life-enhancing impact of continued creativity and artistic expression -- well into the later years! It uses brief excerpts that profile the crative proscess of elder artists, introduces us to a 90-something actress who grabs life with bothe hands, and demonstrates how creative expression can even transcend dementia. It also includes a secion on the work of the late Dr. Gene Cohen, co-founder of the Creativity Discovery Corps, who was best known for championing the limitless potential of the aging brain.
Six Chapters:
• The Creative Process Knows No Age Limit
• Creative Expressions: Three Older Artists
• The Quilt Arts of Gee's Bend
• Imagination Keeps My energy Up: Actiess Mimi Weddell
• The older Artis as Coach: Dancer Grederic Franklin
• Imagination in the Moment: Dementia and Creativity
