2 Soul Sisters Art Ed: Rizzi Meets Van Gogh

For this 7th Grade project, I had the kids combine the old with the new. They were required to incorporated James Rizzi Art with Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night". The project was quite involved, but I was very pleased with the results.

Directions:

I talked a little about James Rizzi. We have posted on him before click here James Rizzi Post. Also, I showed a video on Rizzi Art. Click here for James Rizzi Video

Then, I talked about Vincent Van Gogh and Starry Night. We have posted on Van Gogh many times. Click here for previous Van Gogh posts. I found a cool interactive video. Click here for Van Gogh Interactive Video on Youtube by xldear23.

I gave a refresher course on one point perspective.

Then, I told the students to draw a city using one point perspective.

I told them to use James Rizzi Style buildings.

Also, they had to have a Day or Night Sky in the Vincent Van Gogh "Starry Night" style.

They drew with pencil, outlined with sharpie, painted with watercolor, and outlined with sharpie again.

Have a look at the results!
