One Day Sub Lesson Plans for Art

Student art with their name and cartoon people

Since teachers like to do lessons using student names early in the school year, this lesson is perfect for back to school.

The students create a name banner. They begin by lettering their name across the paper and turn those letters into bubble letters. After that they add details around the letters that look like comic people.

This would make nice bulletin board displays or portfolio covers.

It works well for third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades.

Now, as great as a back to school lesson this is, it was written with subs in mind. That means that I put thorough directions in it so that anyone could teach it. There is no reason that you cannot teach it in your own art room! It was really written for all teachers!

You can find this lesson in my TpT shop here: Name People.
