There is a nice art sub lesson plan over at "The Old Paintbrush." It is used with the book, Magic Trash; The Story of Tyree Guyton, and His Art, written by J.H. Shapiro. Nicole has included the full plan of what she gives her subs.  Enjoy!

7 Easy Art Lessons About Monsters

7 Easy Art Sub Lessons About Monsters

Here are easy elementary art lessons about monsters (plus a bonus one!)
These would be great around Halloween time or to use with those units on monsters.


"There Be Monsters" is a lesson about sea monsters as they were drawn on ancient maps.
Students observe the old maps and monsters and create their own. You can find the lesson at my TPT Shop:  There Be Monsters!



Originally, this lesson was posted on a blog called, “Clown and Poodle.” It appears that it no longer exists. However, I had written a blog post inspired by the original, and that still exists. You can see that complete lesson in my blog post here: Purple People Eater




Here’s a lesson at Ms. Pearce's Art Room called "Circle Monsters." Kids love
tracing shapes. Here they can create original monsters just by starting with tracing circles.



This "Name Alien" lesson is by We Heart Art.
This lesson ends up far from where it begins! 



This sweet kindergarten lesson is by Artisan des Arts.




"Her Dabbles" came up with this lesson called Silly Monsters.




This Scribble Monster lesson came from "Art with Ms. B.”

Though that blog no longer seems to exist, I left the picture here because the idea is a good idea. Since that blog post isn’t around anymore though, I found another scribble monster lesson for you.

This is a YouTube video by Emily Brosius. This is a video lesson, so it is complete with all the instruction you need.

Lastly, here is an art worksheet that I have in my TPT Shop. “Create A Silly Monster”

This drawing worksheet includes directions and sample details for drawing a monster. All you need to do is print and distribute. Great for centers, subs and early finishers too.
