Elementary Art Sub Plan - Landscapes

Landscapes with Visual Depth

Art sub lessons can be a lifesaver for teachers needing to prepare for their absence. They ensure that students continue to learn and create, even without their regular instructor. 

This no prep lesson will teach the secrets of creating the illusion of depth on a flat surface, all with the simple use of crayons. Watch as landscapes come to life and scenes pop off the page, as young artists learn to layer, shade, and blend colors in fun and easy ways.  

This lesson uses the most simple materials: pencil, paper, and crayon. 

It contains 20 pages, fully scripted so that anyone can teach it. All someone has to do is read the script and show the images.  

Keep your students learning while you are out.
