Elementary Art Sub Plans | Romero Britto
Romero Britto Inspired Elementary Art Activity
This lesson is from the Elements of the Artroom blog. Mrs. Stacey provides many examples from this second-grade art lesson. I believe an art sub could teach a lesson based on this.I could see this used for second through fifth grades.

Dog Party - Preschool and Kindergarten Art
Preschool and Kindergarten Art Sub Plans
Take a look at the illustration from the book.
The original lesson has students using paint. Paint wouldn't be a medium you should leave for a sub unless you know the capabilities of the sub, but crayons will work nicely. Students will love hearing the storybook read to them. Likely, it will be a favorite. So, let your sub read that book to your students and then have the students draw their own dog party.
Read "Collage Mama's" blog post for more ideas on this lesson.

STEAM Art Sub Lesson with Insects
STEAM Art Sub Lesson with Insects
It integrates science with art in an “ugly bug ball.” Including art history rounds this out even more!
The lesson begins with a discussion about masterpieces featuring insects by the artists Balthasar van der Ast, Nicolaes de Bruyn and then William Heath-Robinson. The lesson then leads the students to creating an imaginary scene of insects at a party. Each slide includes questions and statements for the students to think about including in their drawing.
I have taught this lesson to all levels, K through Fifth. My subs who have used this lesson have left feedback that they and the students thoroughly enjoyed the lesson.
I hope that this will be a well loved lesson for you and your students and that it helps you when you are in need of a sub lesson.
The materials needed for this lesson are the most simple: paper, pencils and crayons or markers. Here's what another buyer had so say about that: "Great lesson to leave for a sub as everything needed was included and the prep was minimal and used things commonly found in the art room. "
Here's a comment from a buyer: "The kids produced wonderful drawings and images. The sub used the plans for my intermediate groups grades 3-5 and she loved working with the kids as the plans were so meticulously laid out!"

Kindergarten Art Sub Lessons | Imaginary Travel
Kindergarten and First Grade Art Sub Lesson
Here's an elementary art lesson that they recommend for ages 5 - 8. They include a short write up of a lesson with a sample art work. Your sub would probably appreciate some supplemental material such as picture books that go with the theme. It is a sweet little lesson you can leave for your sub if you have time to add a few more visuals and maybe a book to go along with it.
"As a regular classroom teacher tasked with teaching art I love your lessons - makes me more confident that I am sharing some art insight."
" Great lesson for subs - easy, engaging, and very relevant in the art room! My sub loved it, and the kids did too. They all wanted to finish their images the next week."

Art Sub Lesson Idea - Doodles
Art Sub Plan Idea - Doodles
Through this art activity, students learn about geometric and organic shapes and how Laurent uses them in his abstract paintings. They then create a drawing of their own, based on Laurent’s work.
The lesson contains full directions for teachers and students. There are many photos of paintings by Reggie Laurent and visuals of student samples. There is a link to a YouTube video about the artist, but it is not necessary for teaching the lesson. (All photos of Reggie Laurent's work have been used with the permission of the artist.)

Where You Can Find This Lesson
Here are some reviews of the lesson that were left in my TPT shop:
"My students loved learning about Reggie Laurent as part of our Black History Month artists. My grade 4s and 5s created colorful doodles inspired by his work. This PowerPoint was an incredible guide for teaching the lesson and exploring his contribution to the art world. I extended the project by allowing students to include a silhouette in the middle of their doodles. Great resource! "
