- how can
programs developed by Project Zero which mainly deal with art based teaching
and learning programs and systems for children and teens be applied to Senior
L.L.L. [ look at Arts Propel, Arts Survive, Goodwork, Goodplay, Artful
Thinking]?Best Bets:
- read and investigate Erik Eriksons [ 1980's psychologist ] 8 stage Life Cycle delineation which is calibrated to ego development....the 8th stage is that from 55 yrs. to 65 yrs. to end of life, the hallmark of which is to establish integrity and achieve "meaning" for ones life and to connect with surrounding humankind [ this could account for the need for social stimulation and engagement by Seniors]...see Erikson, Erikson and Kivinick 1986
- Seniors experience brings them capability plus [ according to Erikson] there is a deep need to come to terms with the world in a way that adds integrity to their lives[ i.e. exploring their humanness]which gives great psychological incentive
