James Rizzi Cityscape Art Game

You will create a James Rizzi cityscape by rolling the die and collecting the different parts required to create it. Using either a black permanent marker or crayon, draw buildings that overlap one another beginning with shorter ones in front.

Then, roll the die three times to select three faces from the first column. Roll three more times to select three more faces from the second column. The next three rolls with determine window shapes. Draw as many windows as needed to fill your buildings. Then, roll three more times for items to place in the background. Add as many as needed. And lastly, roll three more times to select some fun extras to draw either on, in front, or on top of the buildings. Draw as many as you like.

Color the details with crayons. Using washable markers, outline everything. Dip a small brush in water and carefully smudge it in the marker lines to paint in the shapes. If you need to neatly add more “paint” to larger areas, smudge some marker on a scrap piece of paper and use that as a paint palette. Allow each area to dry slightly before moving on to a neighboring area of the design.

And that’s how you play this James Rizzi cityscape art game!
