Description

Need no prep, Martin Luther King art projects? Imagine these freedom flags inspired by the "I Have A Dream" speech in your hallway with a writing prompt. The step by step drawing tutorial and PowerPoint also makes perfect emergency art sub plans for elementary art and general ed teachers.

A fun roll a dice game, ‘you pick’ worksheet, and digital spinners helps kids choose patterns. And, boost their confidence and creativity.

And, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan art projects for Martin Luther King Day using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! This art lesson includes a freedom flag template for easy drawing.

Can I tell you a secret? It’s hard to get kids writing in ELA. When they’re not invested in it, they can’t connect with what they’re writing about. Mic drop! Incorporating creative Martin Luther King Day activities like this “I Can Have a Dream” flag helps. Finally keep all kids engaged!

WHAT'S INCLUDED

I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt this art project. All will motivate kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:

  • Roll a dice game to add randomness to your student’s artwork
  • “You Pick” art worksheet for kids to choose their own patterns
  • Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick patterns and you can integrate technology
  • Printable dice template in case you have no dice
  • Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
  • MLK, Jr. freedom flag template which kids can draw directly on it or transfer it to heavy drawing paper
  • Drawing practice worksheet, so kids can practice drawing patterns
  • 2 Writing prompts, so you can tie this drawing project to literacy
  • 2 Coloring pages that you can use for absent students or hand out as a classroom prize
  • Helpful Tips & Tricks handout with teacher directions to help guide the lesson

HOW TO USE MY MARTIN LUTHER KING ART LESSON

The best part about my freedom flag art activity is that it’s flexible and can be used in many ways throughout your classroom. It's great for maternity or emergency art sub plans, early finisher activities, indoor recess, or even an after-school art club.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I use this project with my Art students at the end of the year. They absolutely love it. We do in in Red, White and Blue. It turns out very cool!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I bought this as an emergency sub activity. It turned out great, even with having a sub go over it! So great, in fact, that I ended up putting them out in the hallway.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I used this with my after school group and everyone, included the adults had so much fun making our freedom flags! Thanks for such an engaging activity for all ages!
