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.

Secret Rooms and Hidden Passageways

Art Sub Plan - Secret Rooms and Hidden Passageways

Before I got a job teaching art, I taught fifth grade. I taught my class art when I could and tied it into our lessons. When I taught the pyramids, my students drew imaginary interiors to the pyramids. They were enthralled, and so excited to share their drawings. I have been meaning to recreate that experience as an art sub lesson for years. Finally, I did it.

This is a lesson I named, "Secret Rooms and Hidden Passageways." Students look at a variety of hidden spaces in artwork; in history; and in imaginary images. They then create their own space with trap doors, hidden rooms, secret hallways, and all manner of spaces that are tucked away.
