Texture Rubbing

Texture Rubbing as an Art Sub Plan


You follow Phyl's blog, right? There's a Dragon in My Art Room?

 I was digging around over there today and found these directions that turn a lesson into a sub-plan.

 

She describes the lesson in the post and then, in the comments, puts info about what the sub did.

I'm going to a meeting all day next Wednesday and will be using this for my sub.

Kindergarten Castles Art Sub Lesson

Kindergarten Castles Art Sub Lesson




Jessica Young is so kind to share another lesson.  She has written great detail in this blog post, such that an art sub could easily follow along.  Her blog is: Miss Young's Art Room

If you'd like a castle art lesson that is all ready to hand to a sub, with visuals and script, check this one out at my TPT shop:  Captivating Castles: Drawing Lesson for Art Subs and Teachers

This editable art sub plan requires little to no prep. It would be perfect for an emergency absence. Students are captivated by castles. Their imaginations soar dreaming about the romance of medieval times. In this lesson, they will learn about castles from medieval Europe, including the exterior architecture and the reasons for their design. It includes illustrations from the early 1400's by the Limbourg brothers and photos of castles that still exist.

After going over the lesson, the students will draw a castle of their own design. They will utilize architectural elements they have learned but are encouraged to invent their own as well.

It was written in great detail for use as an emergency sub lesson but could be used by an art teacher or classroom teacher.

This PowerPoint may be used in two ways. It may be printed out and shown page by page to the students or shown as a projected PowerPoint.

The supplies needed are simple. The student will need paper, pencil, crayons or markers.

This lesson is written so that it may be taught completely by following the prompts in the slides. It written for use by grades two through five, but certainly could be used by older students.
