Review: "The Art books created by Eric Gibbons have proven to be invaluable to me.  I have purchased several including:  Artistry (Dynamic Activities to Develop Artistic Thinking and Appreciation); Sub Plans for Art Teachers; The Art Student's Workbook (both Teacher and Student editions); and Art Assessments.  I'd be lost without them.  I have also used lessons posted on his website (www.artedguru.com) that were created for distance learning. 
Thanks Eric for the great resources.

Sub Plans For Art Teachers
Grades 4 through High School

These are tried and true sub-plans for middle through high school, with some simple units for special needs students and lower grades. All are designed for minimal impact on supplies; from just a pencil, to simple supplies like colored pencils, crayons, or whatever you have available. No "busy work," each lesson has depth and can be paired with whatever unit students have or will explore. Some plans include extensions that can be paired with technology available in your classroom or student's pockets, but most can be done without should that not be a possibility.
