I have revamped an art sub plan that I made a few years ago. It is in my TeachersPayTeachers shop. (If you bought the previous version, please download this new and improved version for free!!!)
This is a lesson that I have taught in my own art room and the kids have always loved it. Before the lesson, I always liked to show YouTube videos of Dragon dances during the Chinese New Year celebrations. There are also lovely children's books on the subject which would go great with this lesson. You don't need either to teach this lesson though. I've added lots of visuals and background that provide motivation for the students.
I have heard from classroom teachers as well as art teachers who have taught this. They all seemed to have success and the kids loved it.
Ancient Greek Vases - Art Sub Plan
Here's my latest sub-plan for art. If your students study Ancient Greece, this is a great tie-in lesson.
This lesson was written with an art sub in mind, but it could be used by classroom teachers or art teachers as well. In an art history lesson that ties n with Ancient Greece, students are given the opportunity to design their own Grecian vase. The student will design the vase using images from their life or a favorite story. Sample designs are given so that you can display them.
There is a worksheet included in the PowerPoint, which the teacher will need to print out ahead of time. There are also examples that may be printed out if the teacher wishes to have them on display during the lesson.
I have created the lesson so that all a sub will need to do is read each slide and follow the instructions. It may be projected as a PowerPoint; printed out and shown up close as the students sit nearby; or printed out and projected via a document camera.
BONUS!!!!! I have included a word search about Grecian urns. It is great for those early finishers!
