On days that you don't have the energy for time-consuming prep, pull out one of these lessons. This 22-page booklet gives you three line and color art lessons developed for first through sixth grade. If you don't have time for the "color" part, these art projects are equally as stunning as black and white line drawings.

The booklet includes:
 

Russian Architecture is based on the famous St. Basil's Cathedral. Do the line drawing or add the chalk pastel background. The results are stunning! Handouts provide good visual aids.
 

Folk Art City introduces children to the whimsy of folk art inspired by a children's book illustrator. Use the two handouts to learn cool tricks for drawing "folk art perspective" as well as cars, skyscrapers and houses.

Crazy Critters is three lessons in one! Learn how to draw beetles, crickets and other strange looking insects, then select an option for coloring. Very easy for the teacher and terrific fun for the kids! A great activity for quiet or free-choice times.
