Using the Health Development Agency report: A review of evaluation in community-based art for health activity in the UK, I’ve used Many-eyes to emphasise the Stated aims and outcomes summary list section of the document. This section of the document summarised a number of key areas where the arts have contributed within the healthcare setting.

The more a word is used in this section the larger it appears in the image. So for example the images emphasises the ability for the arts to create change in a person indicated by the usage of ‘increase’, ‘improve’ or ‘reduce’. Also there is a large number of words indicating the ability for the arts to increase insights, ‘awareness’, ‘understanding’, ‘promote’ being keys words.

Have a look for yourself and tell us what patterns you see within this image.
