Art Sub Plans

Here are some low-prep and no-prep emergency art sub plans that will save you in a pinch. Choose between art history lessons focused on artists and art movements or seasonal and timely art activities. Whether you’re going to be absent for one class or out on maternity leave, you can feel confident in leaving these art projects with your substitute.

Want to teach your students how to create Van Gogh’s Starry Night with oil pastels? Or design a Christmas craftivity before winter break? These sub plans for art include step-by-step picture instructions that are easy to leave with students on many grade levels. They’re also great for art and classroom teachers as well as homeschooling parents looking to infuse some arts integration into daily instruction.
