Art Sub Lesson Video | Tar Beach

Art Sub Lesson Video: Tar Beach

I love showing kids art videos that are related to the lesson. Here's one of my own.  It's a video I created for the sub to show the class.  The kids follow along with the video.  Click here for the video: Tar Beach

I did this lesson with my students plenty of times and they loved it! I love it when kids get to use their imaginations to create something that is personal to them.

Romero Britto Art Sub Lesson

Romero Britto Art Lesson


This lesson is simple but has striking results. The combination of cubism and pop art make appealing inspiration pieces for kids art lessons when combined with vibrant colors and bold pattern. An art sub could be very successful in leading this lesson.

 

This lesson, featuring the art of Romero Britto, uses simple materials; paper and markers. Markers give the art work that bright color that is a hallmark of Britto’s work. Students create a simple design and add pattern to the shapes. They color it in.

Hi.  This space is where I would like to "park" ideas for sub lessons.  It is mostly for my own use, but I'll put it here in case it might help someone else.
