Art Sub Plan with Monsters and Spring

 

Silly Monsters for an Art Sub Lesson

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.

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.

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.

Neurographic Spring Doodle Drawing

 Spring Flower Doodle as Art Sub Lesson

Neurographic drawings seem to be very popular these days. They can be very calming and satisfying to work on. 

Here is one by the TPT Shop: Cool Classroom Stuff, that uses the theme of spring flowers. It is an easy and fun drawing activity that can be completed with 8 1/2" x 11" white paper and crayons. 

It is a lesson that can be taught by anyone including subs, gen. ed. teachers, art teachers, or parents. The set up is simple and the slides are fully scripted with plenty of visuals.

This lesson includes:

-10 scripted slides that may be projected during a lesson; printed out and shown to students sitting close by; or printed out and made into a center activity.

-Three slides (slides 12 - 14) with examples that may be printed and hung in the room during the lesson

-One sheet with a line drawing (slide 15) that may be printed out and used as a coloring sheet for students needing extra assistance.

The designs may be drawn with regular Sharpies (not fine line) or black crayon. This particular lesson is intended to be colored in with crayon.

Spring Directed Drawing - How To Draw A Bird With Your Pencil

Directed Drawings for Kindergarten and First Grade

Art sub plans for primary students can be tricky. You really need to keep them engaged.

I noticed that there are not a lot of kindergarten art sub lessons out in the world, ready to use, so I created a few. 

Directed drawings are loved by elementary students. I like for them to have room for individuality and creativity too. Here are ones that work great for spring and summer.

This lesson was written for kindergarten and first grade, but I added a second lesson in the package for the rest of elementary. 

"Kooky Birds on a Branch" is a directed drawing that can be drawn as three birds on top of a branch or two birds on top of a branch and one hanging under. Kids follow, step by step, for the drawing part and then add their own details.

It also teaches how to color neatly and includes a rubric.

"Springtime Bird with Pattern and Flowers" was written for kindergarten but older elementary students would enjoy drawing it as well. It includes a template for making this a greeting card.

It is also no prep and fully scripted.

The last one, "Bird in a Tree with Flowers," is a directed drawing for elementary students that can also be used as a greeting card. It is also no prep and fully scripted.
