Primary Art Lessons 10 Art Projects for Homeschool Art Sub Plans Fast Finishers

This Primary Art Task Pack gives young students 10 open-ended art projects with easy-to-follow visual step-by-step guides and printable workspaces. It suits homeschooling parents, classroom teachers, art educators and TAB (choice-based) art rooms.

Students can work with whatever materials you have on hand, from crayons and markers to watercolor and cut paper, and the visual guides let them work independently. That makes the projects handy for warm-ups, fast finishers, distance learning, sub plans and emergency lessons. Just print and hand out.

WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING

★★★★ “This was a great resource to use during virtual learning, I'd post one per week on Class Dojo and often times students would submit work completed by the whole family. It was great to see families engaging with art while home with their children and many appreciated how simple the directions were.” Heather S.

HOW TO USE IT

Keep a set in a sub tub or folder for emergency absences or long-term subs, send pages home as take-home packets for distance learning or unexpected school closures, or use them as bell ringers to get students in a creative mindset before the main lesson. They also work in student choice art centers and as early finisher activities.

To prep, print and laminate master copies to keep in a binder, or print and staple the pages into booklets for homeschooling, bell ringers or fast finisher work.
