Valentine Art Sub Plans - STEM and STEAM

Valentine Art Activity for Centers, Subs and Early Finishers

Here are two Valentine art activities that can be used in a center; taught by a sub or teacher, or used as an activity for early finishers. 

One is by the TPT Shop: Cool Classroom Stuff.  Elementary and middle school both will enjoy this lesson. Templates are provided as a structure for original designs. Students will use simple materials which could include, pens, crayons, or markers. 

The second lesson is intended more for elementary than the first one, but middle school would enjoy doing it too. This one is from the TPT Shop: Centers and Early Finishers. It is more of a doodle art lesson and would be good for early finishers. 

There is a template for the kids to add pattern to or just color in. 

This one also uses simple materials: pens, crayons, or markers.

Art Sub Lessons for Winter Break and the New Year

Seeking art lessons for after winter break? Here ya go. Here are some elementary art lessons that would make great sub lessons for the new year. Some have directions and visuals included and some you will need to tweak a little.

"Winter landscapes by 1st grade - one day project" by Mrs. Knight's Smartest Artists. One day lessons can make great sub lessons.  This one makes such a gorgeous work of art. Paint isn't a great medium for subs, but can be substituted with crayons or markers.  If you will let your sub use markers, make sure you  leave lots of instruction about how the students should use them.

"Snowman Directed Drawing Art Activity," by Proud to Be Primary. This blog post includes both written directions and plenty of visuals.  Crayons or markers can easily replace the paint used in the blog post.

"A Cup of Fantasy," at Arteascuola.  These painted cups are so colorful.  I am sure they can be recreated in crayon or marker.  You could make step-by-step visuals pretty easily for this one.

"How to Draw Penguins," by Cassie Stephens.  In this blog post, Cassie gives visuals, including a step-by-step one for how to draw the simple penguin shapes.  Students add whatever details they think up, so these can all be individualized.

"Patterns for the New Year," by Strong Rock Elementary Art Gallery blog.  This teacher gives an overview of this lesson about goals for the new year.  You could provide your sub with simple visuals and directions to go along with this lesson.
