Project Name: Beacon Children's Art Therapy Dept. Magnetic Wall Panels
Product Type: Magnetic Graphics System
Goal: To create a changeable art display for pediatric patients participating in the art therapy program
Solution: The Olee Team worked with Beacon Children’s Hospital Art Therapist Sarah Tyler to develop magnetic wall panels as an art wall that allows patients on PEDS and PICU (pediatric intensive care unit) an opportunity to create artwork which is collaborative with other patients on the floor. Even when patients are isolated in their rooms and do not actually work directly with other patients to create art, the magnetic wall panels allows a space for the patient’s individual art to be added to something larger. The Olee Team provided their Magnetic Graphics System which allows the artwork to adhere to the magnetized wall, using magnetic receptive paper that the patients apply their art to. The art display is cheerful and provides a space for creative, unique, and meaningful artwork created by the patients to be viewed on a daily basis by staff and families. It also allows easy opportunity for the artwork displayed to be versatile and ever changing. Art Therapy works with patients to change out the wall and come up with new ideas for collaborative artwork to display. The pictured display is called "A Piece of My Art" with each puzzle piece uniquely created by a different patient.
