Apple Art Project
Need fall art projects for your September bulletin board? Imagine your hallways decorated with these apple drawings and writing prompts. The step by step drawing guide, PowerPoint and demonstration video make perfect no prep, art sub plans for elementary art for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. Design your apple art project easily!
That’s right. Sit back while I teach your students how to play the roll a dice game and design the apple myself! Kids can also choose patterns using the ‘you pick’ worksheet or digital spinners—whatever works best for you!
Plus, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan projects for the first day of fall using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers!
What’s Included
I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt my apple art project for back to school. All will motivate kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:
- Roll a dice game to add randomness to your student’s artwork
- “You Pick” art worksheet for kids to choose their own patterns
- Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick patterns and you can integrate technology
- Printable dice template in case you have no dice
- Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
- Apple Template which kids can draw directly on it or transfer it to heavy drawing paper
- Drawing practice worksheet, so kids can practice drawing patterns
- 2 Fall writing prompts, so you can tie this drawing project to literacy
- 2 Apple coloring pages that you can use for absent students or hand out as a classroom prize
- Helpful Tips & Tricks handout with teacher directions to help guide the lesson
- Step by Step Video Tutorial, with optional captions

I have been using this activity for Art only for a few years. Students like using the dice to choose their designs. They are very engaged in colouring with markers and the technique of using clear water on paint brush to make the marker ink look like water colour paint. The apples always look great!
