Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participants will be residents, attendees and/or members of assisted living locations and/or dementia (or related) day programs. There will be two groups: an art training group and a waitlist control group.
Data Analysis:
1. For primary measures, t-tests on pre-post difference scores comparing art training and waitlist groups.
2. For possible confounding effects, tests for confounds related to background factors (socioeconomic status, education level, gender, activity participation).
Procedure:
A randomized controlled trial design will be utilized to assess two groups of dementia patients: an art training experimental group and a structured usual-activity waitlist control group. The experimental group will participate in a visual art training program and the waitlist control group will participate in their usual structured group activities. The waitlist control group will receive the art training program once post-testing is complete. Before, during, and/or after the art programs and/or control activities, participants will be observed and complete assessments.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Visual Arts Training
Visual Arts Training
Visual Arts Training
The art training program has been designed as a drawing program and focuses on basic visual art concepts (the elements \[e.g., colour and line\] and principles \[e.g., proportion and balance\] of design). Each week has a different activity and a different focus (one activity per week focusing on one element and principle of design). Each art training program will occur one hour per day, two days per week, for eight weeks. The art training program will take place at the participants' respective dementia care location in an area separate from waitlist control participants and uninvolved clients. All art programs are free for participants.
