I have always wondered why we dont’see what disabled (in any way) people can create. If they are sighted they generally love color presented in any way shape or form. If they can hear they generally really like music. I wonder how many would become very creative if given a chance?
It is always a wonder to me how what we create is perceived. I am an artist and have used most of the tools available to people who communicate through their art. Now, due to a new disability, acrylic pours is exciting to me. I can pour beautiful pictures with color combinations that are thrilling though drawing is becoming a distant memory.
The definition of disability may have to change, too. The Elderly are often very disabled and not assisted to be creative in our current medical/öld folks homes” climate. There is no reason they should not be creating art, music, dance even if they have to have assistance.

I would love to hear a concert created wholy by Elders.

In reality it doesn’t even cost very much compared to other aspects of their care. Sigh.

You are absolutely right. Create away with the gift that God has given you!
