Easy and Free Art Sub Plans for Kindergarten
Easy and Free Art Sub Plans for Kindergarten
Here is a free art sub PowerPoint lesson for you at my Teachers Pay Teachers shop: Art Sub Lessons. This lesson is one I use with kindergarten. We do lots of moving around making the shapes of lines as we look at the slides. TeachersPayTeachers requests that you make your free PowerPoints smaller than your "for pay" ones, but this is still full of good images and information for your students and subs.Here are a couple of "easy sub lessons" from Dali's Moustache. One is a third grade lesson about Jackson Pollack's action paintings. The other is a fourth-grade lesson called "crayon fireworks."
Another source for some free resources is here: Circle Art Lessons | Art Sub Plans Worksheets
This page in my blog links to free art worksheet printables, videos, and lessons that can be completed in one class.
Another easy way to prepare for an art sub is to go to my shop, Art Sub Plans. I have created complete lessons in which all your sub has to do is read the slides and follow the directions. They are full of visuals and are created to be used with the most simple supplies. Pencils, paper and crayons are all your students will need to create imaginative works of art.
These are perfect for those emergency absences when you do not have the time to write detailed plans but want to leave quality plans for your subs.

Middle School Art Sub Plan - Alphabeasties
Elementary and Middle School Art Sub Lesson with Typography
The illustrator has filled in the shape of the animal with the name of the animal. I can imagine where this same idea can be applied to other images of things and using a variety of words to describe the image.
This is an alphabet book to help little ones to read, so your older kids won’t be so interested in that part. The illustrations are really interesting though. “Ms. Art Teacher” did the lesson with 2nd through 7th graders. She also left the lesson with a sub and found that was successful.
There are multiple read-aloud of the book on YouTube, so you can always fall back on that if you can’t find the book itself.

Playful Playgrounds as a Sub Lesson

Here's a Mondrian related sub lesson that Katie Weymouth came up with. Here's the blog entry: Briargrove Elementary Art Page
If you like lessons in which students use their imaginations to create wondrous and mysterious places, you might like this one of mine. Created as a sub lesson, it can be taught by teachers and parents too. It is no prep and completely ready to teach.

Abstract Art from Map - Art Sub Plan Idea
Substitute Art Teacher Lesson Plan
The students learn about Piet Mondrian and his use of line and color. Then, they apply that to a map drawing activity. They could use a variety of materials to draw and color in the map.
Sometimes you just don’t have time to write up art sub plans. If you want something easier, visit my TPT shop that I created just for that purpose: TPT Shop: Art Sub Lessons. I’ve got fully formed, no prep, scripted lessons that are ready to go.
If you’d like to start with some free art sub plans, you can find those too.

Art Sub Lesson - Wacky Hats
Art Sub Lesson "Wacky Hats"
This is a sub lesson that I teach myself as an art sub but used to teach in my own classroom before I retired. I have added it to my TeachersPayTeachers store because it is such a successful lesson. The kids get highly engaged and stay busy the entire class time.It would be fun as a lesson for "Crazy Hat Day" at your school. Art teachers could use it and so could classroom teachers.
When I left it for a sub of my own, she had high praise for this lesson. She left these comments: "Thank you for the wonderful plans. Great lesson." and "They LOVED the photos and your drawings."
