Rizzi Cityscape

Yesterday we learned about an artist named Wayne Thiebaud.

What did Wayne Theibaud love to make art about? That's right, DESERTS!

Today we are going to learn about another artist, his name is James Rizzi. Then we will do art inspired by his ideas.

Is there something you love so much, you only ever want to make art about that thing?

Maybe it's sports, or cats, or cars...

There was an artist named Wayne Thiebaud, who loved sweet treats. He loved how beautiful they were, how unique they were and how interesting they were to look at, especially in a bakery when they are all lined up. He decided he only wanted to make art about DESERTS.

 

You can make art like Wayne Thiebaud. 

Think of something you are interested in, and draw three of them really large on the paper. 

Maybe it's ice cream cones, maybe it's fish, maybe it's cupcakes. 

Draw with a pencil first, then trace with a sharpie, then color with crayons.

Don't forget to draw a line behind the objects for your table and add shadows. The shadows should be the same color as your table, just much darker.
