Kids love art games! Rachelle over at Tinkerlab has some great ideas for one that you could leave with a sub. This one looks like fun. Her son actually created this idea!
The supplies are simple: Paper and pencil. She gives you all the instructions you need too.
There are also links to other drawing games that you should check out.
This is a good opportunity for students to learn about the art of Henri Matisse. Admired for his use of color and his fluid line, his paintings have a quality that is almost childlike. This is one reason that children are drawn to his work.
This STEM/STEAM art activity would be fun to do around a Mexican holiday like Day of the Dead or Cinco de Mayo. If your students have seen the animated movie, “Coco,” they will be familiar with Día de Los Muertos. It would work perfectly as an art sub lesson.

This may be set up as a classroom learning center; an activity for early finishers; or as a teacher led lesson.
This PowerPoint includes:
-Three drawing templates featuring sugar skulls. One has a center guideline; one does not, and one small one has a guideline and folds lines to be utilized as a greeting card.
-Six sample drawings, showing a variety of media. They may be hung in the class as visuals for a lesson or hung in a learning center.
-One sheet with a composite of these may be hung in a learning center.
-One sheet of sample designs you might see on sugar skulls.
-Five sheets of information about sugar skulls; directions on how to draw one; and information about symmetry.
The designs may be created with a pen, crayon, or marker.
Here is a preview of what you would get.
