Representing Rochester School in Uncoli Primary Art Festival in the Girls Gymnasium.
From February 16 to 24, 2023 Rochester School participated in the UNCOLI elementary arts festival with works by students from Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Grades.
The second grade students participated with large format drawings with grease pastel on Kraft paper, in which they represented how they imagined their body inside, how they would represent pains, thoughts, sensations, the sound entering through the ears or how a thought is connected with the act of moving a part of the body, the bones, etc.
The third grade students participated with illustrations of endangered animals made on cardboard straw octavos using the “estambre” technique; used by the Mexican indigenous people called Huicholes, which consists of outlining and making shapes with colored wool on a hard surface glued with liquid glue. Quite a challenge to do it manually.
Fifth grade students participated with very detailed works in pointillism or pixel art in the technique of painting on cardboard based on mandala-like representations of eyes. They also participated with some POP Art-themed ink compositions called “Positive Words”; in which they appropriated a famous brand or their world of quality to change the text for a positive message.
We were touring the Women’s Gymnasium and seeing very interesting works from the UNCOLI schools. It is noteworthy that the exhibition was spread throughout the campus, so that during the tour we could appreciate, apart from the art exhibition, the daily life of the school, with local guides very well prepared for the fourth graders.
