Students at The Mill Art Center Illustrate How Art Inspires Aging and Aging Inspires Art
Many of the artists who take classes at The Mill Art Center & Gallery in Honeoye Falls, New York, are older adults, typically retirees who have time to pursue recreational activities such as creating art. For one inspired group of older students, creating art is much more than just a fun way to pass the time—it’s a way to connect with friends, stay sharp mentally, and improve their overall quality of life.
“It’s been a nice addition to my life as I’ve grown older,” said student Rachel Edwards. “The thing that I find really intriguing about drawing and painting is how we use our brain differently.”
Classmate Sandy Pearl agrees. “I’m constantly challenging my brain, which I think older people need to do,” added Pearl. “People my age are afraid to break out of their comfort zone because they say ‘I could never do that.’ Yes, you can!” Watch the video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s47rE2oSTk.
