Our artworks this week were inspired by the American pop
artist James Rizzi, who passed away in 2011. He was famous for his linear,
childlike style, vibrant colours and zany imagery. His work was described by
the critic Glenn O'Brien as a cross between Picasso and Hanna-Barbera, combined
with an evocation of Native American friezes. Rizzi himself listed his idols as
Paul Klee, Jean Dubuffet, Keith Haring, Andy Warhol and Bugs Bunny. Some
students will start some humanised cityscapes next week.
Students took on this task with great enthusiasm and here
are some of their tweety results backed and ready to be hung:
