James Rizzi Portraits

Third graders learned about the wonderful James Rizzi and viewed examples of his work.  They then created a portrait using Rizzi’s famous cartoon style.  Third graders used black oil pastel and watercolor to finish their portraits!

 

Rizzi Birds

First graders learned about another one of my favorite artists, the late, James Rizzi.  Rizzi is an incredible artist who created cartoon, graphic like paintings.  One of his many themes throughout his work are whimsical birds.  First graders pointed and searched these out as we viewed examples of Rizzi’s work.  They then created a bird using Rizzi’s cartoony style!
