Sun Drawing Art Game
Need no prep, fun summer art activities for elementary? Imagine these sun drawing art projects in your hallway with a summer writing prompt. The step by step drawing tutorial and PowerPoint also makes perfect emergency art sub plans for elementary art and general ed teachers.
A fun roll a dice game, ‘you pick’ worksheet, and digital spinners helps kids choose patterns. Moreover, boost their confidence and creativity.
And, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan summer themed art projects using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! This sunshine art project includes a sun template for easy drawing.
Can I tell you a secret? It’s hard to get kids writing in ELA. When they’re not invested in it, they can’t connect with what they’re writing about. Mic drop!
Incorporating creative art lessons like this sun art activity helps. Finally keep all kids engaged!
