Tips and Lesson Ideas for Art Subs

Tips and Lesson Ideas for Art Sub Planning


This is important information for us all about subs.  Being a substitute teaching in art class isn’t as cut and dry and you might think.  I did it, mostly for my friends, after I retired. Once in a while I would sub for someone outside my trusted circle and let me tell you, depending a lot on what a teacher left me, I had either a pretty good experience or a “never again” one.

 Phyl, at There's a Dragon in my Art Room, tells about her recent experience in art subbing.  She gives some tips and lesson ideas as well as things we should have ready at all times.

Paul Klee's Senecio by FunArt4Kids

Elementary Art Sub Lesson on Senecio

I am hoping to take a couple of days off before Christmas and may use this for my sub.  Hopefully, I will come back and write detailed plans for this to share with you.

I think that this lesson at FunArt4Kids could be broken down enough for any sub to be successful.

If you are lucky enough to get a sub who can use your computer, projector, and PowerPoint, they can use this great presentation here:  Paul Klee.  If you can also always print it out for your sub.  (This blogger has a nice collection of another artist PowerPoints too.)
