Eduardo Srur's project introduces students to art history through workshops and a 3D virtual gallery

After visiting CEU Jaguaré and benefiting 500 students and teachers in the first semester of 2026, the project Retratos Plásticos is coming to the CEU Uirapuru and Casa Blanca schools in São Paulo. The initiative offers an experience that goes beyond the classroom by integrating art, technology, creativity, and environmental awareness, sparking students’ interest in art history.

In this new phase, approximately 1,000 students and educators will participate, during the months of August and September, in a program that features a 3D virtual gallery, lectures, in-person workshops, and two group exhibitions featuring the works created throughout the activities.

The experience begins in a 3D virtual gallery, created specifically for the project. In this digital environment, students explore works by Eduardo Srur inspired by masters of painting such as Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Francisco de Goya, and Johannes Vermeer, as well as access multimedia content on art history and ecology.

In the workshops, knowledge is transformed into creativity. Students create new interpretations using plastic waste as a visual language and engage in a process that integrates experimentation, creativity, and artistic expression. By bridging the digital world with creative practice, the project offers a methodology that makes learning more engaging and participatory.

At the end of the program, the works produced by the students are featured in exhibitions open to the public at the CEUs themselves. The school spaces are thus transformed into art galleries, sharing the results of this creative process with family members, educators, and the entire community.

"Technology broadens access to knowledge, but it is the artistic experience that sparks creativity. Retratos Plásticos was designed to introduce students to art history through a language they are already familiar with and, based on that experience, to encourage new forms of creation and expression."

O Retratos Plásticos is organized by Eduardo Srur, sponsored by Microsoft, and supported by the City of São Paulo through the Municipal Program for Cultural Incentives (PROMAC).
