Get equipped with a repertoire of tried and true substitute tips and quick one-day lessons from veteran art teachers. We want you to be able to pivot with confidence and continue to engage all learners.

Keep these quick and fun one-day artmaking lesson ideas in your stash. Be prepared for when you have a schedule adjustment, or you are drained and just need a change of pace. Some of these lessons do require some prep and special supplies so take a peek now so you can be prepared later. And just because a lesson is labeled for a substitute, it doesn’t mean you, the art teacher, can’t implement the lesson yourself!
