Creativity Challenges Art Lesson Fast Finishers Bell Ringers Art Worksheets

These Creativity Challenges get students' creative juices flowing. Each challenge gives students a shape, and they try to draw as many different things as they can that come from or include that shape, being as creative as possible.

Students in all grades love these artistic brain games, and the older you are, the harder they seem to get. Use them as an art lesson, a fast finisher worksheet, a time saver or a brain game.
