Abstract	In 2018, the author embarked on Master of Education research to investigate how mature adults were affected by regular participation in visual art classes. Visual art education is reported to have a positive effect on the cognition of mature adults in various contexts (Schindler et al., 2017; Wali et al., 2001), so this research investigates whether social participation in a structured, creative class in an everyday community setting could promote such change. For the study the author ran a series of art classes that concentrated on developing drawing, painting and design skills and culminated in each participant creating a painting of a person close to them. The findings fell into three main categories: changes in self-efficacy and self-concept, social bonding and growth, and educational outcomes. (ERIC).
