Art Sub Plan - STEAM/STEM - Symmetrical Sugar Skull
Day of the Dead Art Activity
This STEM/STEAM art activity would be fun to do around a Mexican holiday like Day of the Dead or Cinco de Mayo. If your students have seen the animated movie, “Coco,” they will be familiar with Día de Los Muertos. It would work perfectly as an art sub lesson. This lesson plan is by TPT Shop: Cool Classroom Stuff
This may be set up as a classroom learning center; an activity for early finishers; or as a teacher led lesson.
This PowerPoint includes:
-Three drawing templates featuring sugar skulls. One has a center guideline; one does not, and one small one has a guideline and folds lines to be utilized as a greeting card.
-Six sample drawings, showing a variety of media. They may be hung in the class as visuals for a lesson or hung in a learning center.
-One sheet with a composite of these may be hung in a learning center.
-One sheet of sample designs you might see on sugar skulls.
-Five sheets of information about sugar skulls; directions on how to draw one; and information about symmetry.
The designs may be created with a pen, crayon, or marker.
Here is a preview of what you would get.

Easy Art Lesson for Subs - Reggie Laurent
Easy Art Lesson for Subs - Reggie Laurent
The supplies needed for this are simple. Paper and crayons or markers.
The lesson may be projected or printed out.
Where You Can Find This Lesson
Here are some reviews of the lesson that were left in my TPT shop:
"My students loved learning about Reggie Laurent as part of our Black History Month artists. My grade 4s and 5s created colorful doodles inspired by his work. This PowerPoint was an incredible guide for teaching the lesson and exploring his contribution to the art world. I extended the project by allowing students to include a silhouette in the middle of their doodles. Great resource! "

Art Sub Lessons for March and St. Patrick's Day
Art Sub Plan Ideas for St. Patrick's Day
"Cool Classroom Stuff" on TeachersPayTeachers as a great lesson for art and math. A STEAM lesson, "Create a Symmetrical St. Patrick's Day Design" would be great for upper elementary, middle, or high schoolers.
This was done with marker pen.
Storytime Anytime reads the book, How to Catch a Leprechaun, in this YouTube video. (The book is by Adam Wallace with illustrations by Andy Elkerton.) After reading the book or watching the video, you or your sub could have students draw a leprechaun trap. (You may need to remind them to build something that would be kind and keep the leprechaun safe.)
This printable Celtic Knot coloring page is in PDF format and designed to be printed on letter sized paper. It is by Literary Springs Designs.
Here is an art activity from the TPT shop: Centers and Early Finishers. Upper elementary and middle schoolers might enjoy this.
Here is a sample of that lesson done in crayon.
And here is one done just in black pen.
Here is a free writing prompt and drawing activity for primary classes from A Classroom for All Seasons on TPT.
Here is a free printable St. Patrick's Day Word Search from MPM School Supplies.
Next is a worksheet for early finishers. This one is in my TPT shop, Art Sub Lessons.
This next one would work well for SPED or preschool. You would need to cut out the shamrocks first, but it should be a successful lesson.
