My classes participate in a 6 minute silent draw when they first arrive at class each day. I tell them it is to help them engage their art brains. It allows me time to take attendance, switch out supplies and mentally prepare for the next grade level lesson. This month I added these light bulbs to my white board. They are laminated so I can use it just as I would my whiteboard. I am using the prompt from the #k12artchallenge as an additional daily prompt for the 6 minute day. Students still have the option to draw whatever they would like for the 6 minutes but if they are stuck, they now have a prompt.
What a great idea!
