Children often understand and communicate emotions visually before they are able to fully articulate them in words. 🎨

This Mental Health Month, we’re reflecting on how our Grade 5 students used colours in their self-portraits to explore and express different feelings.
For some, happiness sat in the chest. One child coloured half their face red to show love and blushing, and the other half yellow because it felt “funny and happy.” For others, red represented anger, while sadness felt like a quiet shade of blue.🌈

While conversations around mental health are often centred around adults, children too experience a wide range of emotions, from playful and joyful to layered and complex, even at a young age. Once a safe space is created to explore these emotions, many children begin expressing and reflecting in ways that are natural, personal, and intuitive.

Swipe through to see how children mapped emotions through colours and self-portraits entirely in their own way🌻

Over the years, our students have visited museums, exhibitions, and cultural spaces across cities, engaging with artworks, artists, archives, and stories beyond the classroom.🌈

These experiences have gone beyond just viewing art. Through collaborations with spaces like .india and , children have experienced works of renowned artists such as N.S. Harsha, S. H. Raza and Madhavi Parekh. They have participated in workshops connected to live exhibitions and large artistic ideas, exploring everything from everyday objects and imagination to different artistic mediums, styles, and ways of seeing the world.

For many students, these visits become moments of curiosity and connection. They begin to experience art not as something distant or confined to textbooks, but as something living, public, and deeply human. It also opens up the possibility that their own ideas, questions, and creative expression can belong within these spaces too.🎨

If you’re a museum, gallery, artist, or cultural space interested in creating meaningful arts learning experiences for children, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to collaborate with us 🌻

Some classrooms carry far more than the challenges of learning alone. In regions like Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu & Kashmir, children often grow up within complex and conflict-affected contexts, where opportunities for creativity, expression, and emotional processing within classrooms can become limited. 🎨

Through our partnership with JKSTIC, we’ve been working with educators across these districts to strengthen how visual arts can become a more meaningful part of everyday learning.

The intervention brings together contextualised visual arts learning inspired by the artistic heritage of J&K, educator trainings, and sustained classroom support to help create spaces where children can build confidence, self-expression, collaboration, and well-being through art.

What has stayed with us most are the reflections from educators themselves, many of whom spoke about reconnecting visual arts with cultural identity, expression, and more human ways of engaging within classrooms.
This work is only the beginning, but it reinforces something we continue to see across contexts: when children are given room to create, express, and participate more freely, classrooms begin to hold something much deeper than academic learning alone. 🌻

Creating art is about more than the final outcome. It’s about exploration, expression, and giving students the space to create freely. 🌻
Help us bring more of these spaces into classrooms that need them.

At the Catalyst Impact Summit, conversations across the social impact sector came together around a shared question of what it takes to build meaningful and sustained change within education and beyond.

As part of the summit, , Co-Founder & CEO of Saturday Art Class, joined leaders from and .education to discuss grassroots realities, systemic integration, and the complexities of building impact within public systems.

Alongside these conversations, our stall became a space for visitors to reflect on their own experiences with visual arts while growing up. Many spoke about how art education within formal schooling had often felt rigid and restrictive, while also recognizing how important those moments of creativity and self-expression had been to them.

Being part of the summit also reflected our ongoing partnership with TresVista over the past two years. As a research and development partner, their team has supported us in leveraging secondary research for program and curriculum design, while also strengthening our data systems and data visualisation practices.

It was meaningful to be part of a space bringing together diverse organisations, perspectives, and approaches towards long-term social change 🌻

As the academic year comes to a close, our Art for Educator partners and presented student artwork through the end of year exhibition!🎨

These showcases are led by educators who have experienced first hand the impact of Visual arts and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) in their classrooms.

End of Year Exhibitions advocate for the role of the visual arts within education. For educators, parents, and peers, the exhibit offers insight into student thinking and expression. They reflect the sustained effort of both students and teachers, while showing how visual arts and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) can be integrated into everyday learning. 🌻

Across our work in the North East, we’ve seen how classrooms change when children are given more room to think, respond, and express. There is greater participation, more confidence, and a stronger sense of ownership in how they engage with learning.

As we take this work forward into Meghalaya, the focus is on adapting these learnings to a new context while working closely with schools and state systems.

We’re hiring for a Manager, Program Operations role based in Shillong. The role involves working closely with state education departments while holding together day-to-day implementation on the ground.

If you’re passionate about building programs, working with government partners, and enabling visual arts and social-emotional learning in school systems, come build with us. Come build with us. Link is in our bio🌻

Art Connect, our WhatsApp chatbot, is one of the ways we’re building how technology supports our programs on the ground.📱

Built on the Glific platform, it uses a space teachers already engage with across the country, making it easier to share classroom practice, access resources, and stay connected over time.

This has also opened up a different way of learning for us. Through ongoing interactions, we’re able to see how our programs are being implemented across diverse context and geographies.🎨

It has further shaped how we receive and use data from the ground, helping us improve program efficiency, strengthen how support is delivered, and make more informed decisions.

Being part of the AI Accelerator has been an important part of this journey, not just in building the tool, but in learning alongside others in the sector who are also adapting innovation and technology into their work.

We’re continuing to build in this direction, and are looking for people interested in research, programs, and systems. If that’s you, we’re hiring. Link in bio 🌻

What if a pipe was not just a pipe? This month’s Artist Spotlight takes us into the beautifully strange world of Belgian Surrealist, René Magritte.🎨

Magritte’s work invites us to question what we see, turning the familiar into something curious, playful, and sometimes unsettling. When students engage with his work through our curriculum, they begin to experiment beyond reality, playing with scale, context, and imagination to create their own interpretations. This shifts their focus from simply recreating what they see to trusting their own ideas.🌈

At the heart of this is a simple idea: art doesn’t need to look “real” to be meaningful. What students imagine holds value, even when it feels unusual.

Swipe to see how our students reimagined their worlds through surrealism, and stay tuned for the next artist.🌻

A big part of our work at Saturday Art Class is driven by the Partnerships and Training vertical, led by . She focuses on building the relationships that make our programs possible, working closely with government partners, educators, and teams on the ground to ensure visual arts finds a meaningful place in classrooms. 🎨

Over time, this has meant understanding how Saturday Art Class can work across different contexts such as Nagaland, Maharashtra, Kashmir, and Tamil Nadu, and growing it in ways that stay thoughtful and responsive to the systems we’re part of.

She is now building her team in Meghalaya and hiring for a Manager, Program Operations role based in Shillong. The role will involve working closely with state stakeholders while overseeing day-to-day implementation on the ground. 🌈

As we enter new regions, this role becomes critical and requires someone who can navigate complexity, build relationships, and carry both the vision and the details of our work.

Saturday Art Class in collaboration with the J & K State Science, Technology & Innovation Council (JKSTIC) recently conducted our first visual arts capacity building training for over 60 educators in Rajouri and Poonch, Jammu & Kashmir! 🌻

The sessions invited teachers to step into the role of learners themselves. Through visual art activities, they reflected on their own well-being, identity, and what makes a classroom truly feel joyful.

Teachers engaged with visual arts-based learning resources across levels, exploring how these could be adapted to their own contexts, many of which include multi-grade settings. Art Connect, our Whatsapp Chatbot supported this process, offering a way to document, share, and continue the learning beyond the workshop space. 🎨

Across both districts, teachers participated actively, many creating art for the first time, and shared interest in confidently taking these practices back into their classrooms.

In resource-constrained settings, this reinforces a simple idea: meaningful change doesn’t always come from adding more, but from rethinking what already exists. As we continue building towards safe spaces in classrooms through visual art, we’re also growing our team.
