As Taiwan's society rapidly ages, there is a growing need to enhance the quality of life for the elderly, making aging art education increasingly important in supporting their well-being and social participation. Creative aging art education, in particular, can significantly contribute to the holistic health for elder adults. The Taiwan government has been actively establishing resources such as long-term care facilities, day-care centers, and community care services to support aging in place, all of which require the integration of art and cultural activities. This study reviews the principles of creative aging art education in an aging society, examining the demand for and current status of senior art programs and teacher training in Taiwan. The research findings include (1) the planning of senior art education curricula; (2) the practical implementation of senior art teacher training. The results of this study will serve as a crucial reference for the Taiwan government when formulating future policies on senior art education and setting standards for senior art teacher qualifications.
