Once the sketches are complete, students can begin painting. Encourage them to use a variety of colors and brushstrokes to create a realistic and expressive painting.
When the paintings are finished, have students share their work with the class. They should explain the dog behavior they chose to depict and the psychological factors that they believe contributed to that behavior.
