Earth Day Art Project
Ready for an Earth Day art project for elementary art that’ll dazzle your admins? Imagine these painted Earth Day hearts alongside a writing prompt on display. The step by step drawing guide, PowerPoint, Earth template, and video demonstration makes perfect emergency art sub plans.
That’s right. Sit back while I teach your students how to play the roll a dice game and design this Earth Day art activity 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 art projects for Earth Day using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! Incorporating creative spring art activities like this Earth Day heart project helps. Finally keep all kids engaged!
