James Rizzi was a legendary pop art artist from New York. Born 1950 in Brooklyn. He created step by step his own colorful world, full of happy pictures, which spray a vision of happy lifetime and joy.
“Much of my work is about New York City, but above all it is about the people, about how they live.
New York is a multicultural society where people with all kinds of cultural backgrounds, religions and languages are living together in harmony.
In my work I want to portray the positive side of New York, I want to show how privileged we are to have such a rich and diverse society and that living together in such a community can be a lot of fun.”
Fifth grade students created their own Rizzi inspired buildings representative of themselves. They chose a favorite color as a backdrop of their building, designed 8 symbols that represented them as individuals, and creatively embellished their work with a piece of metallic paper they were challenged to use to enhance their designs. Their goal was to create a building that when displayed, people would be able to guess who's was who's without the aid of name labels.
