The Night I Followed the Dog Art Sub Lesson Plan
Art Sub Plan for The Night I Followed the Dog
Here's a fifth grader's...
Then the sub will tell the students they will be listening to a storybook called "The Night I Followed the Dog." Ask what sorts of things they think we would see a dog doing if we followed it around in real life.
Show the video.
After viewing the video, ask the students what sorts of things they would like to see a pet doing if the pet was acting like a person.
They will go to their tables and draw those things. The drawings could be in stapled book form or just one on a page.
Remind them to add backgrounds. Where will these pets be? What would we see around them if we were there? Would there be other pets? Would they be doing the same things?
If time allows, let them share their favorite drawings with the class.

How to Draw and Paint a Pattern Beetle
Video Art Sub Plan
This cute insect and pattern lesson can be found on YouTube here: How to Draw and Paint a Pattern Beetle. It is on the channel "Artventure."
I think I may try a version of this for my next sub's lesson. I would burn the video to DVD so it can be played on the DVD player. (I'll write a post this weekend on how to do this.) The sub would play the video the whole way through. Then, for the drawing part, the students would work along as the sub played the video bit by bit.
I would make it a crayon or marker lesson unless I knew the sub could deal with block tempera for the resist.

Kindergarten Castles Art Sub Lesson
Kindergarten Castles Art Sub Lesson
Jessica Young is so kind to share another lesson. She has written great detail in this blog post, such that an art sub could easily follow along. Her blog is: Miss Young's Art Room
This editable art sub plan requires little to no prep. It would be perfect for an emergency absence. Students are captivated by castles. Their imaginations soar dreaming about the romance of medieval times. In this lesson, they will learn about castles from medieval Europe, including the exterior architecture and the reasons for their design. It includes illustrations from the early 1400's by the Limbourg brothers and photos of castles that still exist.
After going over the lesson, the students will draw a castle of their own design. They will utilize architectural elements they have learned but are encouraged to invent their own as well.
It was written in great detail for use as an emergency sub lesson but could be used by an art teacher or classroom teacher.
This PowerPoint may be used in two ways. It may be printed out and shown page by page to the students or shown as a projected PowerPoint.
The supplies needed are simple. The student will need paper, pencil, crayons or markers.
This lesson is written so that it may be taught completely by following the prompts in the slides. It written for use by grades two through five, but certainly could be used by older students.
If you are interested in other lessons that connect with architecture, you might like these:

Another easy way to prepare for an art sub is to go to my shop, Art Sub Plans. I have created complete lessons in which all your sub has to do is read the slides and follow the directions. They are full of visuals and are created to be used with the most simple supplies. Pencils, paper, and crayons are all your students will need to create imaginative works of art.
These are perfect for those emergency absences when you do not have the time to write detailed plans but want to leave quality plans for your subs.
