These 120 sketchbook prompt task cards give students something creative to draw whenever they open their sketchbooks. They’re open-ended, so every student can take a prompt somewhere different, and you never have to invent a new drawing idea on the spot.

Teachers use them for:

• Sketchbook warm ups at the start of class
• Early finishers and fast finishers
• Sub plans and quick art challenges
• Art centres, choice time and independent drawing practice

What you’ll get: 120 prompt cards on 30 printable black and white pages (4 cards per page), ready to photocopy, cut apart and keep in a jar or deck. Most prompts take 10 to 20 minutes.

When you sign up you’ll also join my newsletter of free art lessons and teaching ideas. You can unsubscribe any time.

Meet Ms Artastic

Hi, I’m Kathleen McGiveron, also known as Ms Artastic! I’m an artist, art educator, resource creator, and the founder of Ms Artastic, where I help teachers, homeschool families, and creative educators bring meaningful art lessons to kids without the stress of planning everything from scratch.

I believe art should feel joyful, accessible, and confidence-building for both kids and the grown-ups teaching them. Through my art lessons, printables, videos, and creative resources, my goal is to help you make art a regular, exciting part of your classroom or homeschool routine — even if you do not consider yourself “artsy.”

I’ve been featured on NBC LX News, host the Ms Artastic YouTube Channel and Podcast, and create art lessons designed to make teaching art easier, more fun, and way less overwhelming. I’m so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to help you bring more creativity, colour, and happy little “I made this!” moments into your learning space.
