One-Day Art Lesson -
One Day Art Sub Lesson
Jessica Young used this plan initially as an art sub lesson for fourth grade. When she needed a quick art lesson for herself, she pulled this one out and used it for other grades as well.
You can check out Jessica's blog here: Miss Young's Art Room.
She says that her students stayed engaged for the whole class time with this. She also gave ideas for those few early finishers and those who took it a little too slow to finish in art.
The materials she used were markers and paper. With subs, I am careful about leaving markers. If I know the sub and trust them to emphasize using the markers with care, I would leave markers. Otherwise, crayons would work just fine.
Miss Young demonstrated how to draw a "criss cross" star with her kids and then showed them how to repeat the lines in and around that star. I think you could also provide students with templates of other shapes for this. Basic shapes? Animal shapes?
If you would like to use masterpieces from art history to introduce the lesson, here are is an idea that might work well.

This is Kandinsky's Color Study, Squares with Concentric Circles from 1913.
Here's another lesson plan that you could use to create a lead in for this lesson: "Kandinsky Squares with Concentric Circles,"at the blog, Art Prep has a good, meaty description of Kandinsky and his work.
They talk about Kandinsky choosing to switch to from using subjects in his paintings to focusing on line and color. This is great information for your lesson.
If you would like to use an art sub plan that is fully formed and ready to hand to a sub, check out this one in my TPT shop: Art Sub Lessons. It is no prep and fully scripted. It can be taught by anyone.
This elementary and middle school art sub lesson includes slides about the artist and two projects for the students to draw. It is great for teaching elementary students about abstract art and the artist, Bruce Gray.
Written for a sub, it may also be taught by classroom teachers, art teachers, and homeschool teachers.
Supplies needed for the art lesson are pencils, paper, markers or crayons, rulers and circles of various sizes.

Art Sub Lesson Plan “Picasso Meets Grant Wood"
Free Art Sub Plan “Picasso Meets Grant Wood”
Here are the visuals that I left for my sub and some of the kids' work.
Since not all of our subs are comfortable with working the computer and projector, I mounted these images and words on large paper so that the sub would know exactly what to say as she was showing the visuals.

Radial Name Design - Art Sub Lesson
Radial Name Design Art Sub Lesson
This post originally led to a lesson at a blog called Art4Cast. It seems that this blog no longer exists.
From what I can tell, this is how this radial name design was created.
Starting at the center of the paper, draw lines that spiral out to the edges of the paper.
The students' names may be written in bubble letters in every space, or alternate the spaces with names and patterns.
There are other radial name design lessons on the web, but I am not sure they are sub-friendly.

Mazes - Art Sub Plan
Mazes - Art Sub Plan
Mazes is a lovely sub lesson from Art is Basic. It would be excellent for middle school and upper elementary. I think with some tweaking, it would be fun for younger ones too.Paper Sculpture as an Art Sub Plan
Paper Sculpture as an Art Sub Plan
Paper sculpture, or dealing with glue and scissors, is not something I would leave for just any ole substitute teacher. If you have a trusted and true one though, that might be just fine.
I found these images online and am still looking for a fully written lesson to go with it. I have found some beautiful images though.
This first image is called an “abstract movement sculpture” and it can be found here: Art with Mrs. Peroddy
The next one also has an image. It's on an Artsonia page and has no written lesson plan, but I think you can formulate one fairly easily though.
Here’s an idea from Artsonia that might make for a fun and easy sub lesson.
