I am definitely going to introduce him to my classes. It is easy to see why your kids loved the project.

I told the kids today about the school and they said they want to move to Germany...haha. I agree with the art approach as well.Kristyn DeMinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16941355102355542661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853518726723949955.post-84127319451262464662010-11-27T12:40:27.964-05:002010-11-27T12:40:27.964-05:00One of the wonderful aspects of using James Rizzi&...One of the wonderful aspects of using James Rizzi's art for educational projects is that the art is very approachable .... children (as well as grown ups) relate to it... he invites his viewer to come close to the art, to interact, and to touch it... When working with his art, the student is taught that you can't make a mistake... This is a much more positive message than the more traditional "there's a right and wrong way to create art" I just learned that in Germany, there is a school being named after James Rizzi.Henry Welthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121186667595436523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853518726723949955.post-81704684280604281492010-11-24T15:27:42.757-05:002010-11-24T15:27:42.757-05:00A couple of days ago I saw another post about thes...A couple of days ago I saw another post about these houses at http://barbarasthoughtoftheday.blogspot.com/2010/11/james-rizzi-happy-houses.html<br /><br />The work she has posted is really adorable. <br /><br />I'd never heard of James Rizzi before but now I'm hooked!! Thanks for the great post - I love your lesson and James Rizzi is going on my list of artists to teach about next year (I think I'm already overbooked for this year!).Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.com
