Rodrigue dog-clothing not optional - Featured Gallery!
We studied George Rodrigue and his famous blue dog series. Then we created our own dogs in oil pastel. Students focused on composition while making sure to fulfill two requirements - dogs must have apparel or accessories and there must be a background. Students used a blending technique with oil pastels. They were encouraged to develop their own style while also maintaining consistency.
The students observed a power point about the artist George Rodrigue and his artwork. The students were inspired to create a collage Blue Dog with their own theme idea.

As a boy, Rodrigue knew of a legend of the "loup-garou" or werewolf that lurked in sugar cane fields, threatening to haunt bad children. The legend said nothing about the loup-garou's color, but Rodrigue thought the night sky would cast a blue-grey shade on its fur when he painted it in 1984 for Bayou (Inkwell), a book of forty ghost stories by Chris Segura.
