Resum

“Impressions in blue” is the generic name given to several workshops belonging to an Art Education program targeted to people with early dementia, carried out in the State Centre for the Attention to People with Alzheimer Disease and other Dementias, in Salamanca, dependent on the IMSERSO. The aim of this program was assessing if the implementation of artistic activities could be an efficient strategy for promoting wellbeing and psychosocial, cognitive and communication capacities in people with early dementias and, therefore, improve the caring systems for the elderly with early dementias. These workshops consisted on the development of a simple photographic technique, combined with new technologies. The psychosocial qualitative research was the chosen methodology and was organised in three phases: activities design, development, follow-up and analysis of the artistic productions done by the participants. The conclusions drawn can be outlined as follows: Dementia didn’t cause any problem while developing the workshops; the interest shown by the participants was remarkable, obtaining positive reactions in regard to their psycho-social wellbeing; it was observed an increase in communication amongst the participants, not only in their personal relationships but also in their contact with the outside; lastly, it is worth highlighting the models that can be developed in the early dementia care.
