After a six week program of painting classes for the 30 girls of Sharanam Centre – Dharavi, SAYITINCOLOR / Art Caravan are honoured to present their watercolours on the theme – Illustrations of Snow White’s tale. This Grimm’s tale has elements of many profound aspects of a child’s life. More than anything else, this tale has not only nourished the minds of children and grown-ups but also of artists for centuries.
During the program, the girls were able to easily identify with the protagonist, and were able to express their buried emotions on paper under the art therapist’s supervision.

SAYINITCOLOR
Life in a city like Mumbai can get busy. Our lives are vicious circles of working harder and harder so that we can have material pleasures and yet no time to enjoy those pleasures. There is a need to let out our bottled emotions and relax. What better way than doing this through art! This is why SAYITINCOLOR commits itself to help us reveal our inner-selves through innovative artistic tools and cross-cultural techniques.
SAYITINCOLOR is an organisation whose mission is to nurture creativity through art and cultural engagement with a two-pronged approach:
1) The Art Loft: a unique cultural hub in Mumbai
2) The Art Caravan: a wandering artistic experience
