Funky Fish Idea for an Art Sub Plan

Funky Fish    Art Sub Plan Idea

I adore this blog post by  2 Soul Sisters. Their students created this fun piece for an art auction. I would totally buy it!

They used paint and 3D treasures, but I think the image idea could be sub lesson friendly for elementary students. I wouldn't leave glue and paint for a sub, but the basic design is marker and crayon-friendly.

Ideas for a Sub Lesson

You could leave a chart of basic fish shapes or imaginary fish shapes for students to copy.
You could draw simple fish shapes and make copies of them for students to fill in with designs.
Provide charts or handouts of patterns or textures for students to use to fill in their funky fish shapes.
Display more designs of funky fish to inspire kids.

And since this guy reminds me of Rainbow Fish,  a picture book might be a nice addition to the lesson!

Head over to their blog to get the details on this awesome piece.

No Prep, Fully Scripted Art Sub Plan


If you are looking for another funky and fun art lesson, but are less interested in putting it all together yourself, head over to my TPT shop and look at: Silly Sandwich. That is my most beloved art sub plan at my shop.

This fun, no-prep art lesson was created for substitutes but may also be used by art and classroom teachers. Students learn art history and use their imaginations to create a silly sandwich.


Kids love this lesson. Subs love this lesson. And teachers love this lesson when they are putting together emergency art lessons.
