Summer Art Sub Projects
Are you working with kids in a camp or school this summer? Will there be a chance that you might need a substitute to fill in for you at some point? Just like if you are teaching art during the school year, you need to have some sub plans ready to hand to a substitute teacher or counselor in case you have to be absent.
I've found some options for easy art sub plans that are pretty low prep.
Paper Plate Frisbees
Check out this blog post from Make and Takes blog. This post is about a summer camp activity about making a frisbee out of paper plates. She gives step by step directions that anyone could follow. This makes it a perfect lesson to give to a sub!
Colorful Flip Flop Artwork
The next easy art lesson that a sub could do comes from the blog, Pink Striped Socks. The directions are pretty simple for doing this, but she does spell them out. They turn out super cute, too!
The blog, Crafting Chicks, has some good ideas for summer art activities. This post is a Summer Scavenger Hunt - Free Printable Game. What a great idea. You could easily create an art lesson for a sub based on where you are and what you have available.
Fun Drawing Activity
Here's a summer drawing lesson that is a favorite! Kids love silliness and fun. "Silly Sundae"doesn't disappoint. It is a great lesson to leave in a sub folder or sub tub as it is no prep and uses simple materials.
Students look at a variety of wacky artworks based on the theme of ice cream. Then, they use their imaginations to create their own drawings of silly ice cream sundaes.
Quiet Time Art Worksheets
If you need some "in your seat" kind of fun activities for early finishers or to help a sub, check out my printable art worksheets. They're creative and fun to do.
