Opening Minds Through Art (OMA) Swampscott

Opening Minds through Art (OMA) is an award-winning, evidence-based, intergenerational art-making program for people living with dementia.

People living with dementia (artists) are paired with volunteer (we have high school students) who are trained to rely on imagination instead of memory and focus on remaining strengths instead of lost skills. OMA enables people living with dementia to assume new roles as artists and teachers and leave a legacy of beautiful artwork.

Space is limited. To reserve a space please call the Swampscott Senior Center 781-596-8866 or email Outreach Social Worker Sabrina Clopton at sclopton@swampscottma.gov

Basic Drawing at the Swampscott Senior Center

Basic Drawing at the Swampscott Senior Center

Anyone can develop artistic skills with good instruction and practice. Come join us in a supportive environment and earn to draw! This is a great place to begin (or refresh) your experience with drawing.

We will use a variety of drawing materials (all materials are supplied), including charcoal, pastels, graphite, and ink, as we meander our way through concepts like mark making, contour line, values (shading), improving observational skills, and composition.

This is an introductory class. It’s best for adult beginners with no experience, or people who have previously done some drawing but feel ‘rusty.’ We meet for five sessions. Each session includes a mix of whole group instruction (12 students maximum) and individual feedback.  Hope to see you there!  Cost $50 for a five week session. Preregistration is required.
