Patterned Landscapes - Art Sub Plan Elementary

Patterned Landscapes for Elementary Art Sub Plans

Here are some visuals for a landscape lesson that anyone could teach. It could be great for an art sub.

I have drawn 4 stages of a patterned landscape lesson that you are welcome to use in a lesson with your own students.

Here is a video that you could use with older students.  Patterns and Landscape Video.

How to Draw a Turkey in Disguise

Create A Turkey in Disguise - Printable Worksheet

What is a sub or teacher to do when students finish their lesson early? That's the time when behavior problems often occur. So here is a fun and creative worksheet to have at hand for just that circumstance. This is based on a classic lesson in which students alter the appearance of a turkey to help them escape Thanksgiving dinner. This could be a great lead-in for a Writers' Workshop lesson. The supplies needed for this worksheet are pencils and crayons or markers.
