Unique Creature Art Lesson for Subs

Collaborative Drawings

This post is from 2011 at Briargrove Elementary Art Page. One of the things I love about this lesson is that every drawing is different from every other drawing. Students are inspired to create their own unique creatures.

Katie Gonzales gives directions for how to teach this lesson. A sub could easily follow along. You can get this lesson here: http://katieweymouth.blogspot.com/2011/11/first-lesson-of-year-collaborative.html

Not Your Average Gingerbread Man

Art Sub Lesson - Beyond the Gingerbread Man

The other day I wrote about one of my art activities where kids create gingerbread characters or objects that were not gingerbread people. This morning, for fun, I doodled an example for that lesson. Here's a link to that blog post: Art Sub Lesson: Beyond the Gingerbread Man

Doodle Monsters for Winter

Art Sub Lesson - Doodle Monsters

I’m still playing around with doodling monsters. They’re fun for me to draw and kids seem to have as much fun doodling them as I do.

Simple Monster Drawing Characters for Winter

Here's a new drawing, that I have added to my art sub lesson. It is doodle monster gingerbread people. One is rather Santa-like. One looks like Mrs. Claus. (Does she have a first name?) There's an elfin one; a kid one; one with a top hat; and a couple with beanies....tuques?...knit caps.

Monster Doodles Worksheet for Early Finishers

I have added a blank template of this drawing to the lesson on TPT in case you want an early finishers coloring activity. It is an add on at the end of the lesson and won’t change the lesson at all. So, if you have already bought this lesson from my TPT shop, you can just download it with changes, for free. (Yippee!) I’ve added this finished drawing to the sample drawings too.
