Creativity Challenges Art Lesson Fast Finishers Bell Ringers Art Worksheets
These are the original Creativity Challenges, artistic brain games that get students thinking and push them to be as creative as possible while they try to complete as many as they can. The older students get, the harder these seem to become, which is part of the fun.
They are made for intermediate to high school students. Use them as a full art lesson or as a worksheet for students who finish early. It is a real time saver for the visual art room.
