Bright. Playful. Accessible.
Introduce your pupils to the colourful world of pop art with this ready‑to‑teach lesson inspired by American artist James Rizzi. Known for his bold cityscapes, wobbly buildings, and smiling faces, Rizzi’s artwork encourages students to see their surroundings with joy and imagination.

In this one‑off or extended session, pupils will learn about Rizzi’s unique style and create their own vibrant cityscape using bright colours, bold outlines, and quirky patterns. They’ll explore how simple shapes and playful details can transform an ordinary street into a work of art.

What’s included:

• A bright, pupil‑friendly PowerPoint presentation
• Easy‑to‑read artist info sheet (perfect for discussion and comprehension)
• Visual step‑by‑step instructions to guide students through their artwork
• Clear materials list using items most classrooms already have

Suitable for KS2 and KS3 (with differentiation tips for SEN and extension ideas)

Skills developed:

• Exploring pop art and contemporary cityscapes
• Using colour, line, and pattern to create impact
• Building drawing confidence with simple shapes
• Adding creative details to bring artwork to life
• Reflecting on how art can express joy and imagination

Perfect for Arts Week, cross‑curricular projects, or a fun stand‑alone lesson. This flexible, low‑prep session works with drawing, painting, or digital art and is accessible for all learners – including those with SEN – making it easy to adapt for your group’s needs.
