| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to develop an art program that utilizes the "Smile Icon"－defined as a smiling face icon composed of simple-shaped eyes and mouth parts－to help improve and maintain people's daily activities.
The act of drawing smiling face icons had positive psychological effects on people and improved their mood. The facial expressions of participants who enjoyed art appreciation or drawing responded synchronously to the smiling face icons they were drawing. The design elements of the smile icons were clarified by systematizing the characteristics of the shapes and parts.
Utilizing the "Smile Icon", an art program was developed and practiced at a nursing care home. The results indicated mood improvements in elderly people who require nursing care. The art program utilizing the "Smile Icon" was newly positioned as a creative activity in medical and welfare facilities.
