Digital James Rizzi Cityscape Art Project
Digital art lessons, such as my James Rizzi cityscapes project on Google Slides™, make engaging, early finisher art activities for elementary! Students will copy and paste shapes to design their Pop Art project using step by step directions. The editable artist biography discusses his lifelong love of New York City.
With 215 moveable pieces to choose from, each student’s digital art project will be unique! The best part? It requires no prep! Simply assign it with Google Classroom™.
Overview of My Digital James Rizzi Cityscapes Art Project
First, students can read the artist’s biography. The text is fully editable, so you can customize it. It chronicles Rizzi’s life painting New York City, including Times Square, Coney Island, and Central Park. And it explains how he created his characteristic 3D prints.
Next, kids will copy and paste buildings, windows, birds, cars, boats, etc. onto a background slide.
Lastly, once they’ve arranged their cityscape, your students can re-color any of the pieces! Simply tap to select a shape. And click on the paint bucket tool to change the color.

My kids really enjoyed using this resource so it made my job easier!
Great resource and easy to use. Students really enjoyed the activity.
My students loved this digital activity, then writing about the steps they took to create it!
This little project is awesome! My students were incredibly please with the results of their work as well, and were eager to share their creations with one another. I did end up editing the slides to make it shorter, and moving the pieces to reduce the amount of copying and pasting, which some of my students found tedious. Overall, super pleased and will definitely be purchasing any new projects this year!
