Teaching European Explorers in Elementary Art Class
It was written with an art sub in mind, but can be taught by classroom teachers and art teachers as well.
You can find this lesson in my Teachers Pay Teachers store: Art Sub Lessons.

Teachers love to integrate Dot Day into their Back to School lessons since, for many, they happen around the same time. (September)
Here are Dot Day lessons from Ms. O’Hanley, Tales from the Traveling Art Teacher She’s got a video link and multiple lesson ideas that a sub could do.
One of my favorites is this radial symmetry design done on a paper plate. Check it out!
Here is feedback from a middle school teacher: "My Middle School Art students enjoyed this assignment. It allows for a range of art supplies at home- so they all felt successful !"
Worksheets for Early Finishers are the perfect tools to engage students with time on their hands. Your art subs will adore you for leaving worksheets for those empty minutes, but you will appreciate them just as much.This is a quick art project for early finishers. There are three worksheets included. One worksheet has a figure lightly drawn in and students create their own characteristics over it. Another is the same worksheet but the character is drawn darkly. The last worksheet is a full page character with nothing else. Students may create characters from stories, movies, sports, hobbies or their own imaginations. There are sample body features that they may use or they may invent those too. There are teacher samples included so that you don't have to spend the time to do it yourself!
This may also be an inspiration for a writing assignment.
