“…Cohen 2006), which can be linked to work on resilience. Evidence for this comes from the New Dynamics of Ageing programme of research 7 which suggested that the arts can facilitate social connectivity, help address negative societal meta-narratives (Murray et al 2014), and construct socially situated identities that respond to individual and community challenges (Newman, Goulding and Whitehead 2013), providing resources for resilience. Similarly, Young et al (2015) have undertaken a systematic review of the literature on the impact of community-based arts and health interventions on cognition in those with dementia and conclude that such activities have positive effects.…”

This study responds to a gap in the literature relating to the resilience of people living with dementia in care homes. We applied an ecopsychosocial framework of resilience, theorising that sources of resilience may be personal, social and structural. Visual arts enrichment activities were examined to see how they might provide opportunities for resilience. The data used for this study were qualitative and originated from people with dementia aged between 70 and 99 years old (N = 48) living in four care homes in North East England, United Kingdom and staff/carers/family members (N = 37). The results showed that visual arts enrichment activities supported the resilience of those with dementia through creative expression, increased communication, improved self-esteem, and influenced relationships with carers and family members. It is concluded that even those with advanced dementia are capable of demonstrating resilience which can be supported by, and explored through, visual arts enrichment activities.

“…Regarding parenting, research has examined individuals' confidence in being a good parent (Dunt et al, 2011), parenting practices, and beliefs concerning child discipline (Lee, 2009). Responses to artwork reflect the perceived value of artwork or an art form (Goulding, 2013;Newman, Goulding, & Whitehead, 2013).…”

“…A rubric constitutes everything from behavior to customs and is based on cultivation and is affected by norms: this is (Kamphuis, Jansen, Mackenbach, & van Lenthe, 2015). Other research has defined norms as long-lasting dispositions of the mind and body (Kamphuis et al, 2015;Reese et al, 2012), integrated parts of the person (Newman et al, 2013), or guides to what individuals regard as important in life (Kamphuis et al, 2015;Reese et al, 2012). Regarding daily life, research has examined such norms as young people's healthy eating (Fismen et al, 2012); drinking alcohol (Allan et al, 2012); and orientation about higher education, job opportunities, and careers (Royal, 2012).…”

“…Regarding stages of life, research has examined differences in older adults' responses to contemporary visual art, caregiving, and volunteering (McNamara & Gonzales, 2011;Newman et al, 2013). Arts attendance and participation declines markedly from around 64 years of age, leading to very low engagement among the oldest individuals (Goulding, 2013).…”

Cultural capital is defined as capital characterized by cultivation, rubric, knowledge, and ability. These aspects of cultural capital are typically autogenic, and accumulate and reproduce through lifelong community membership. Cultural capital reduces inequality and ultimately enhances the well-being of individuals and the community through bonding, bridging, and linking economic and social capital.

“…This was based upon knowledge that while practice in this area was well established 10 research that demonstrated the success or failure of these activities was limited with few systematically designed studies and little attention given to the role of the art activities themselves (Beard, 2011;Mental Health Foundation, 2011). 11 Although it was acknowledged that there was research using non-positivist social science methods that showed positive impacts of the arts with healthy older people (Newman, Goulding, & Whitehead, 2013).…”

This paper analyses how the methodological approach for a major Arts and Humanities Research Council and Economic and SocialResearch Council-funded project entitled Dementia and Imagination 1 was formulated. This multidisciplinary project brings together the arts and humanities with the social sciences with their different epistemological philosophies and subsequent understandings of research methods. The main objective was to determine how visual arts activities may change, sustain and catalyse community cultures, beliefs, attitudes and behaviours to create dementia-friendly communities. This project involves 6 different UK universities, 14 researchers, 10 formal partners, 7 project artists, 3 research artists and a large number of civil society organisations. The analysis presents a series of themes that have been identified as influencing the approach taken to develop methods which aimed to speak to different audiences in the social sciences, arts and humanities, policy/practice and public domains. It is concluded that a research project of this type needs to embrace a wide variety of epistemological positions if it is to successfully achieve its objectives. This paper contributes to knowledge about how the methodology of large-scale multidisciplinary projects may be constructed which will be of value to those building research consortia across different universities and between universities and community partners.
