What educators are saying
Description
Need no prep drawing worksheets for the substitute art teacher or as an early finisher activity? Here are some simple, but fun finish the drawing exercises elementary and middle school kids can do using paper and pencil.
Finish the picture with markers, crayons, or colored pencils for added enjoyment. There's no reason the learning can't continue when you're absent! That's why these art worksheets are great as art sub plans. But they also work well for brain breaks, indoor recess, and after the test activities.
The benefit to these picture squiggle exercises is that it will help your students stretch their creative imagination. They'll begin to think outside the box and challenge themselves to draw new and unique things. And, their drawing skills will improve over time along with their creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
Lastly, these should be used as simple drawing exercises. And not as a graded assignment. The idea is to get kids drawing with prompts!
DRAWING EXERCISES
Each page of this finish the drawing activity has 9 boxes with a simple doodle inside each. Students will look at the squiggle, decide what it looks like, and use their imagination to complete the drawing. The exciting part is that every student's drawing will be finished in a unique way!
There are 10 line drawing exercises in the packet. Give each child one or two of these worksheets for art at the beginning of the school year as an easy bellringer activity.
Teachers can assign them by grade level depending on how many grades are taught. So first grade gets one art worksheet. Second grade is assigned two worksheets. Third grade gets three drawing exercises. And so on.
Remember: less is more with printables for fast finishers. They'll just race on to the next one.
STUDENT DIRECTIONS
Whoops! Someone forgot to finish these pictures. Use your imagination to draw the rest. You can use pencil, crayons, markers, or colored pencils to design.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- How long would you expect one of these drawings to take? Honestly, that really depends on the age. I would think a 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade child could complete a simple line drawing with pencil in 5 minutes. If you have them color, perhaps another 5 minutes.
- What's the easiest way to incorporate these finish the squiggle drawings into art class? Well, you could have them do the drawing part of the assignment as a bellringer for the first class. Then, they can color it the second class. It's not a graded assignment so there's no need to be in a rush to complete them.
