Art Worksheets Printables - Block Characters

Art Worksheet for Block Characters


Worksheet for Early Finishers


This is from my TPT shop: Art Sub Lessons.  It is a quick art project for early finishers but it would work well for a sub. 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! 

Some teachers have told me that it works well as a jumping-off place for a writing assignment.

Art Sub Tub for Emergency Absences


Lots of people are using art sub tubs these days.  What a great way to organize your sub files. This is especially helpful for emergency absences when you just can’t easily pull a lesson together because of what’s going on in your world.  

What exactly do you include in one?  Here is a detailed blog post about one by Morgan McClarnon at Art with Miss M

If you get this set up before you actually need it, you will be SO HAPPY!

Matisse Goldfish Art Sub Lesson Plan

Art Sub Lesson | Matisse's Goldfish

The blog, Art with Mrs. Smith, has a lesson that you could adapt as a sub lesson. She shows you step by step how to do the drawing. There are plenty of visuals and directions. 

You could adapt it to marker or crayon for a sub.

Art with Mrs. Smith


Matisse Goldfish This is a good opportunity for students to learn about the art of Henri Matisse. Admired for his use of color and his fluid line, his paintings have a quality that is almost childlike. This is one reason that children are drawn to his work.

Art Sub Plan - STEAM/STEM - Symmetrical Sugar Skull

Day of the Dead Art ActivitySTEAM drawing of  a Mexican skull



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

art sub lesson about Reggie Laurent


Here is an easy and fun art lesson that is no-prep. It was written so it would be easy enough to be taught by a sub, but can certainly also be taught by art teachers and classroom teachers. If you have an emergency and need to take a day off, this would be perfect for a sub lesson. It is already written out. All anyone would need to do is read the script and pass out supplies.




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

This lesson can be found at my TPT shop: Art Sub Lessons. I have a ton of resources to help with sub lesson planning or just everyday art lessons.

Here are some reviews of the lesson that were left in my TPT shop:  

"Great, thorough product. Could be used for lessons: shape, color, pattern, movement. There are many ways to use this resource to meet your project needs."

"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! "
