Spring Art Activity Spring Finish the Picture Creativity Challenge Fast Finisher

This Spring Finish the Picture resource gives students 10 partially started spring drawings to complete with their own ideas. Students continue the image, fill the page, and then color or shade their finished artwork.

Because the pages are open-ended, students make their own artistic choices and build original compositions from a simple starting point, using imagination, problem solving and visual planning. It is a low-prep, print-and-go option for classroom teachers, art teachers, substitute teachers and homeschool families.
