We turned simple paper into adorable puppy friends, and each one came out with its own unique
personality and charm. 🐾

Watching the children create, explore was truly an "aww woof woof" moment. 🎨

🎬🎨 At a time when the current economic climate is leaving many citizens mentally and emotionally strained, interacting with Dr Susan Gitau and Chief P.Susan at our art corner during the recently concluded Mental Health Week was truly inspiring.

🖌🎨 They deeply appreciated the creative expressions presented by learners and acknowledged the powerful role of art as therapy.

Their reflections highlighted the need for learning institutions to intentionally embrace creative spaces, especially because many learners carry emotional burdens that often go unseen.

🎨🖌 Art continues to offer a meaningful outlet, a soulful form of healing, reflection, and expression, reaffirming the importance of nurturing environments where young people feel seen, heard, and supported through creativity.

What if we took such intentional measures in addressing mental health matters among our teens?🤔

Honored to have been part of this launch as observe May's mental health week, aligning with this year’s theme that encourages us to move beyond awareness and take action.💯

Using art as a tool for expression, students delivered powerful messages on art as therapy, creatively interpreting their perceptions of mental health and wellness in remarkable ways.🎨🖌

From

backdrop mounted pieces, to modelled volcano eruptions of emotions at breaking point, to safe-space models representing healing, support, and emotional safety, and even tiered balloons (not well-captured in the photos),

every creation carried depth, emotion, and a story worth listening to.👌

Such outstanding highlights show us how art can be used in expression, reflection, conversation, and sometimes even a quiet cry for understanding.

Grateful to witness young people using their creativity, mindfulness, and motivation to spark active action-taking in what truly matters. 🎬🤼‍♀️🙌

When projects reveal pure character development.

Like baking a cake and the lights suddenly decide to hibernate…
This one felt exactly like that.🙆‍♂️💯💯

But even in the dark, the resilience stayed lit.
The motivation didn’t flicker ..... it found another way to shine. 🎵📝

Can you relate to such moments?

Spotlighting a six-year-old who shared how much they’ve grown in their art…

Oooh my world.

the lines that are steadier,
the colors that are braver,
making sense without explaining...

And you realize…
..they are seeing differently.

Can you spot her in the cardboard designed house?

A girl in pink, sitting still watching telly… or maybe imagining.
..then , a glittered heart?

Small things.
But somehow, they feel like the beginning of something bigger.

That’s the beauty of these creations.

isn’t always

Sometimes, it’s seeing possibility in the simplest things and bringing them to life just like the kids did here. 😊🎊🎨

As we World Creativity & Innovation Day 2026, on the 21st of April, brace that ideas can start anywhere ....
... in small hands, simple materials, and bold imaginations.

As we celebrate World Art Day under the theme “A Garden of Expression: Cultivating Community Through Art,” we found inspiration in the most unexpected place… termites.

During a recent art explore, we noticed intricate trails etched into tree bark.
..tiny, collective movements forming something beautifully connected. No single artist, just process, rhythm, and collaboration.

It reminded us that art, like a garden, grows through connection....layer by layer, mark by mark.

Maybe the most powerful creations aren’t controlled… they’re cultivated.

Although detructive, termites might just be underrated abstract artists 😄
Do you agree?😉🎨🖌
