Art Around the World – Sketchbook Prompt Cards

I am super excited to tell you about my new pack of sketchbook prompt cards.  My Art History Sketchbook Prompts have helped out a lot of art teachers and I wanted to make more.  My students enjoy learning about different art works and they like getting small nuggets of information along with the chance to create artwork inspired by what they see.   The new art history prompts are called Art Around the World – a set of 14 task cards with multicultural art.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

These art history cards feature a selection of inspiring famous art styles from around the world. Each card has a description of the cultural meanings, symbolism or characteristics of the art, along with a prompt that can be used to spark drawing and writing.

There are 7 pages of prompt cards, with two on each page.. for a total of 14 cards.

Print off the cards on cardstock, cut in half and laminate to protect them. You can print off as many copies as you would like. You are welcome to share them with other teachers in your school or district.

Students can use these cards
• in art journals or sketchbooks
• at an art center
• as an enrichment activity
• as an activity with a substitute teacher
• to spark an idea for a larger artwork
• in combination with a creative writing activity (have the kids write a story, poem or statement about their response to the featured artwork)
