Art Sub Lesson - Easy Cezanne Still Life

Easy Cezanne Still Life Art Sub Lesson

Here is an easy one-day art lesson with full directions that a sub could do. It is based on a Cezanne still life. The lesson was originally done with watercolor, but certainly could be replicated with crayons or markers. 

There are both step-by-step directions for the lesson and visuals for every step. There’s not often you find all this for art sub planning, so don’t miss this one!

You can find it on the blog, “Teach & Shoot.”

This lesson, Robot Roundup, includes visuals of vintage robot toys and contemporary robots. Students follow a directed drawing to get started, but add their own details when they are ready. I have taught this to all ages of elementary students and it is well loved by every level.

This lesson is no prep, fully scripted, and includes plenty of visuals. It can be taught by anyone.
