ENDLESS LIST DRAWING PROMPTS FOR YOUR SKETCHBOOK

(LIST was most recently updated on February 2023)

Enjoy this drawing list for your learners! Encourage them to use a sketchbook but any paper material will work. Use this list for art days, sub days, brain breaks, early finishers, homeschool and so much more. Need more art ideas: Try expanding on a drawing prompt idea. For example, with the beach prompt, have them add specific objects like a beach ball, or turn a prompt idea into a craft. The possibilities are endless as you are able to make this list as simple or as complex as you would like. This is an open-ended list that will engage your learners and help them to think outside the box. Page break after every list of 50. Stay tune for more ideas to be added to this list!
