'CORDEL'

Art workshop for Elementary students 

Art Educator

Prints produced by my elementary art students at the Instituto de Aplicação Fernando Rodrigues da Silveira in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I taught a class about Literatura de Cordel and print making. Literatura de Cordel are publications composed of rhymed poetry and print illustrations. It is part of the Brazilian folklore and tradition. During this workshop the students made mono prints on papers inspired by the poetry taken from originals of Literatura de Cordel. Later, I hanged them on a string as it is traditionally done before grouping all pages into a book.
