"Why is Blue Dog Blue?" is a colorful picture book, written and illustrated by George Rodrigue. In this story, Blue Dog changes color for many reasons. For example, what color does Mr. Rodrigue paint his dog when he eats a hot dog? Mustard, of course!
We learned how to draw a sitting dog in our class, following the pose of the familiar Blue Dog. Then we set about choosing just the perfect color for our dogs. Some of our dogs stayed blue, others were painted turquoise, magenta, black, orange... What color would you paint your dog, and why? As always we focus on the story behind the artwork we make. Kindergarteners described the color of their painted dogs and why they picked that color.
Here are some of our stories. To see all of our Kindergarten dogs, follow this link to our exhibit page on artsonia.com. http://www.artsonia.com/schools/school.asp?id=114839
