Scotland Street School Museum exhibits children's artwork on dementia If you think that sounds like a lot, it's worth considering that this figure is predicted to double in the next 25 years. How would you feel if you walked into your own kitchen only to realise you have no idea why you are there or what you are supposed to be doing? And how would you convey this in a piece of art? Over 120 school pupils took on this challenge, the results of which are now on show at the Scotland Street School Museum in Glasgow as part of the Scotland wide Luminate Festival. The exhibition, "Dementia: Through the eyes of a child" features everything from poems to paintings and offers an insight into the young people's thoughts and feelings about dementia. The project began earlier this year when attending workshops at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS). Here, they were given the chance to experience some of the sensory changes that can occur in those living with dementia. This was emulated with some goggles to show visual impairment, a headset playing white noise to show how concentration is affected and gloves to show sensory impairment that can occur when doing simple everyday tasks. Here's a sneak peek at some of the exhibits. Vikki Jones at Luminate Festival said: "Luminate focuses on the idea that creativity has no age so work that brings generations together is really important. Wendy Wright, UWS lecturer in adult nursing said: "A key to quality care is the ability of others to understand what it is like to live with dementia."
