Fun Puns about Art and Artists

Fun Puns aboutART

Are you looking to add some humor to your class?

We had a “Funday Punday Monday” at our school where kids and teachers brought in puns to share.  I rounded up some fun art-related puns you could use in your class.  Sidenote:  When I read these in class and I asked “Why did the artist go to the bathroom?”  One of my second graders called out (without missing a beat) “because he was consti-painted!”  That was a new answer and actually better than the original!!

Enjoy!

Also if you are having a pun day fun day, you should hang up these “tearable” pun posters.
