Exploring Your Creative Side.... There is something about sharing a talent or exploring your creative side. One way may be picking up a brush and painting on a canvas. A talent like this can alter your state of mind. It is a great way to ease feelings of stress. By putting all your attention on the brush strokes and the colors you use, you are introducing your body into a calmer, more focused state of awareness. Painting is also an outlet for self-expression. Sometimes, if you do not exactly know what to paint and you just let your instincts guide you, the end result is a piece of art that reflects your inner state of being. In fact, psychologists often use drawings and paintings to evaluate the mental and emotional condition of their subjects. In several studies, it was found that individuals who regularly paint tend to be less anxious, less prone to illness, and have a healthier sense of self-esteem than those who do not. It seems this is not just true for painting but for other art forms as well. Most individuals who are passionate about the arts and engage in creative activities seem to derive more satisfaction out of life and are happier in their personal relationships. Many will also discover a greater awareness of the beauty of nature through painting. For these reasons, Magnolia Manor emphasizes the importance of our Renaissance Programs on every campus. At Magnolia Manor South, residents believe it is never too late to become an artist. These residents attend an art class every Wednesday taught by a very talented lady named Myra Hurst. She is a local artist who enjoys teaching the residents to develop their creative side. Pictured below are some of the paintings by Magnolia Manor South residents. These beautiful paintings may just persuade you to pick up the paint brush yourself! 6 Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com
Residents of Magnolia Manor in St. Marys also enjoy painting. They worked hard to paint and refurbish the nativity scene for everyone to enjoy at Christmas this year. See how using your creative side is a way to give to others? Residents, family members, visitors, and staff all enjoy this “gift” of a refurbished Nativity Scene during Christmas. Bringing beauty to the Celebration of Christmas! Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com 7
