The Attack of DOGZILLA!!!


After reading the fantastic, WACKY book Dogzilla by Dav Pilkey, I asked my students to tell how they thought Dav Pilkey did the illustrations for this book.  (He actually took photographs of his own dog, Leia, carefully cut out one of them and painted a background around it.)  I had my students look through a variety of magazines to find a picture of an animal.  They carefully cut it out.  Next, they mounted it to a blank framed paper.   Next, they either painted or drew a background, making their animal look gigantic compared to the background.  They titled their art piece,  (BLANK)-zilla.)  Then, they wrote a mini-story to go with their completed art.  These made a FANTASTIC display!!!
