Art Club (3rd-5th) learned about George Rodrigue and his "Blue Dog". First we watched a YouTube video of George Rodrigue from "Sunday Morning", to learn more about this artist and his Dog.
After that we drew the dog, breaking it down into steps and shapes we recognize. When students were ready to paint their dogs, I reminded them that Blue Dog is not always blue. The next day when it was time for backgrounds on a separate paper we painted monochromatic, concentric shapes, the color was to be the same or contrast the "Blue Dog".
Another great resource I used was the book,
"Why is Blue Dog Blue? A Tale of Colors" by George Rodrigue.
A few of the amazing artworks!
