Art Sub Plan with Monsters and Spring

 

Silly Monsters Art Sub Lesson Plans




This looks like a fun lesson. It is called  "Silly Monsters" from the blog "Her Dabbles." She describes the lesson and has several child drawings from it. If you have a little time, you could come up with a fun drawing lesson for your kids to do with your sub. Have them add seasonal elements and it is evergreen for whatever time of year you want.

Start the lesson about asking what would make a monster a silly monster. How would a silly monster look?

Tell the students that they will be inventing a silly monster in a drawing.

Show them images of silly monsters or doodle monsters. Point out how they are made of basic shapes. Point out how they could be furry, scaley, bumpy, smooth, or some other texture.

Ask what sort of arms, legs, eyes, nose, etc that their's might have. Are they long, short, tiny, clawed, wheeled, etc.

You may guide them through drawing the shapes or have examples drawn as examples.

When they are done drawing multiple silly monsters, have them add a background.

Finish the drawing by coloring it in.

Spring Doodle Monsters

If you want an art lesson that is all ready to hand to a sub, check out this one in my TPT shop. Doodle Monsters in Spring. It's easy to teach and do. Kids will find it fun to do.

It is fully of examples and is fully scripted. 

Inexpensive and ready to hand to a sub, this is great for when you do not have time to plan a whole new sub lesson.
