Blue Dog 2011

Though we did this project last year, the results from this year were so good, I had to post again. Third Grade students studied current artist, George Rodrigue who is famous for his "Blue Dog" paintings. Students discovered that his "Blue Dog" isn't always blue. Sometimes Rodrigue paints his dog different colors with different backgrounds to symbolize different emotions and events in the United States.

Students chose what type of dog they wanted to paint as well as the color of their dog. They mixed tints and shades of that color to give their dog details and to make it more realistic.
