In collaboration with the Utkarsh welfare foundation under the Health awareness programme, we are conducting art workshops for the children living in villages, teaching them the importance of cleanliness and hygiene to stay healthy and away from diseases. 

The campaign aims at spreading health awareness among children, and we are helping them spread the word through art-integrated learning.
Through these art sessions, we aim to make children more aware of healthy habits and improve creative thinking.

Children don't have to be artistic but should be encouraged towards expression and creativity. Through our Let's Start Art session, we blend art with the other concepts of the curriculum. Art-integrated learning follows the experiential approach of education, which emphasizes 'learning by doing.' it engages children's minds, helps them better understand the topic, and leads to the holistic development of children.

A special bond with their peers is one of the many factors that help children feel welcome and fosters social and emotional development. Also, learning the importance of Friendship at this tender age is beneficial to build the foundation of their personality.

The topic of the art sessions conducted in September was “Mahatma Gandhi”. The art sessions introduced them to the inspiring stories from the life of Mahatma Gandhi. Since, students knew little about him and his life, they were very curious while listening to the many stories of bapu. After listening to the stories about him, they were able to envision the kind of person he was, his teachings and habits and that’s what they have depicted in their drawings.  

In the second set of Let's Start Art sessions in the month of August, we asked students to read a chapter named "Be Clean and Healthy" from their textbook and share their experiences and discuss their understanding of hygiene and cleanliness with us.

In the lets Start Art sessions this month, we asked students to read a chapter named "The Fair" from their English book and relate it to the Fair they visited.
Such topics help children express the ideas that they can not put into words. Through our let's start art program we aim to encourage such expression.
Here are a few stories that will surely bring back your childhood memories of visiting a fair. 

Our recent sessions were conducted on the topic "What's in the basket ?" This topic is from a book that is part of the course curriculum of the 4th standard. When children draw on a topic that is part of their surroundings, they are more confident in participation. It allows them to connect, observe and imagine with ease.
