This is an example of an engaging art form for children I saw in a shop window while walking down the street. In this case, an artist collaborated with this specific shop and this was their way of connecting the artist with the shop and its customers. Everyone could leave their unique mark and sign within the shop space which will make the shop visit memorable for children. It also connects them to the brand and creates a special bond between the shop and the visitors. I would want to recreate this similarly in my hospital environment and connect people with this. It would be accessible at all times other than art therapy and would be open to hospital visitors when needed. Thinking back to Yayoi Kusama who found it relaxing to draw a certain shape, in her case the dots, it could be interesting to see if there is a certain pattern behind drawing specific shapes and forms that could be interesting to observe in an intervention. In the future, for my hospital space there could be suggestions for forms to draw that will relax people if they don’t feel inspired for instance, and could then create a relaxing and healing effect.
