Art Sub Lessons for Winter Break and the New Year
Seeking art lessons for after winter break? Here ya go. Here are some elementary art lessons that would make great sub lessons for the new year. Some have directions and visuals included and some you will need to tweak a little.
"Winter landscapes by 1st grade - one day project" by Mrs. Knight's Smartest Artists. One day lessons can make great sub lessons. This one makes such a gorgeous work of art. Paint isn't a great medium for subs, but can be substituted with crayons or markers. If you will let your sub use markers, make sure you leave lots of instruction about how the students should use them.
"Snowman Directed Drawing Art Activity," by Proud to Be Primary. This blog post includes both written directions and plenty of visuals. Crayons or markers can easily replace the paint used in the blog post.
"A Cup of Fantasy," at Arteascuola. These painted cups are so colorful. I am sure they can be recreated in crayon or marker. You could make step-by-step visuals pretty easily for this one.
"How to Draw Penguins," by Cassie Stephens. In this blog post, Cassie gives visuals, including a step-by-step one for how to draw the simple penguin shapes. Students add whatever details they think up, so these can all be individualized.
"Patterns for the New Year," by Strong Rock Elementary Art Gallery blog. This teacher gives an overview of this lesson about goals for the new year. You could provide your sub with simple visuals and directions to go along with this lesson.
