How about flowers
she said sunflowers which are technically flowers
great list of inspiration
This was a wonderful list
i like these thanks for curing my dreadful boredom 😃😄😊
I’ve read a lot of lists for drawing prompts, this one is by far the best! Thank you so much! I’m sure it took some time to come up with all of these!!
I’m glad you’re enjoying them!
Can you please share some painting ideas?
Sounds like a great idea Amy, I will get on it 🙂
great list i cant wait to fill lots of sketchbooks up with ideas oh also how about fidget toys they are great to draw
Hmm cant think of any! It sure helped me. I run art contests every week and like gettin opinions from people on themes, seeing this I may never have trouble picking a theme again! lol😂
I was stuck trying to think of ideas of what to draw during a pandemic. Thanks for all the great ideas. I better get started, I have hundreds of drawings to do. Joyce
Glad it inspired you Joyce!
I actually had a drawing competition in my school and the topic was “dreaming with eyes open” and this really helped thanks!
thanks for this great list of inspiration. defiantly cured my boredom. I really liked the coffee idea. i made a really good painting for my kitchen with it. it says: “Key To My Morning. it is is painting of a blue coffee cup, with i red back round. my parents drink coffe every morning so i made it for them.

How to pick and use an assignment notebook
Katie Azevedo September 8, 2017 executive function , homework , organization , productivity , routines , time management
You’re here because you want to know how to pick and use an assignment notebook. But I’m going to start by giving you the best assignment notebook tip ever: write it down.
Write down assignments. Write down due dates. Write down appointments. Write it all down. You could have the BEST assignment notebook in the universe, and it will still be horrible if you don’t use it .
Why you need an assignment notebook
Our brains were made for way cooler things than storing boring information like what pages we’re supposed to read for homework and what day we are going to the dentist.
Our brains were made for thinking. And creating. And day dreaming, or whatever.
So when we try to use our brains to store “shallow” information like homework assignments, guess what we end up doing? Yup, having less brain energy to think and create.
How does that affect us in school? We will have difficulty paying attention, learning, remembering, studying, reading, etc. — all because we are using up our background brain energy (our mental bandwidth!) trying to subconsciously remember when the heck our project is due.
What’s the solution?
Write it all down. Everything. Every time.
Here’s where having an assignment notebook or student agenda comes into play. You need one. And you need one that works for you .
Just as we all think and learn differently, we are all going to have unique preferences for what this system looks like and how we use it. But no matter your unique tastes and preferences, the whole point of using an assignment notebook or agenda is to have a place to deposit the information that sucks up our brain power. We all need a place to write down what we can’t forget but don’t need to store.
Why you think you don’t need an assignment notebook
The biggest resistance I hear from students about keeping an assignment notebook is this: “I can remember everything myself.”
Ugh. Please. Just because we CAN do something doesn’t mean we SHOULD. And just because we CAN do something, doesn’t mean it’s GOOD for us.
Even if you CAN remember all your assignments and due dates and tasks and appointments, you must also remember this: trying to store this information in our heads uses up brain energy that we should be using for other things!
I recommend that every student use an assignment notebook that has at least two basic components. After that, the rest is up to you. All assignment notebooks should have at least:
- a monthly calendar view
- a daily calendar view with space
The monthly calendar view
This is an essential component to any proper task management / assignment notebook system. A calendar view allows us to see, at a glance, what we have going on for the month. This is where we write down and keep track of anything that is time-sensitive, like appointments, due dates, work hours, practices, games, etc. Basically anything that requires us to BE at a certain place at a certain time goes in this section. We can also use this monthly calendar to mark important dates such as birthdays.
A quick glance at your monthly calendar should essentially alert you to what you’ve got going on in the next week, as well as any due dates that are lurking around the corner.
The daily calendar view
This is the second essential component to any good assignment notebook or student agenda. In the daily view, we write down what we have to do on that particular day . This information isn’t usually time sensitive, other than it needs to get done that day. (Unlike a doctor’s appointment, at 3:00, which you would put on your monthly view.) Here, we write down homework assignments (all of them! Every time! Even if it’s small!), tasks and to-dos. This stuff can be school related, life-related, job related, or personal. It’s important that this section have enough space for you to feel comfortable writing in. If it’s too small, you will probably end up leaving some items off, and that’s very much not the point!
Optional assignment notebook components
Although this part isn’t totally necessary for everyone, I think that most people would benefit from a simple list-like section in the front of their notebook to write down things that pop up and need to be addressed, but that aren’t necessarily tasks or appointments.
This is where you could jot down ideas you have, random things you want to remember for a later time, and projects you want to get to at some point. This could also be where you do your brain dumps .
If you came to this post looking for assignment notebook recommendations, I’m hesitant to offer any because anything I link here will eventually become outdated (you should always have a dated assignment notebook). But if you need a reference point, this is a good one.
Assignment notebook extras
Apart from having an assignment notebook or calendar with a monthly and daily view, you can play with any other components you want. I have a ton of different lives (mom, teacher at one school, teacher at another school, business owner, graduate student, etc. times infinity!!) so I have a lot of other sections in my own personal task management system. But that’s all the fun stuff that you get to play around with and figure out over time.
My last assignment notebook tip is based on the same principle for everything I teach: keep it simple. Start with the basics and only add sections if you need to.
Once you know how to pick and use an assignment notebook, here are my best tips for how to keep track of homework . Seriously helpful.

Introduction to Scientific Sketching
In this lesson, students learn how to sketch like scientists. You can teach it even if you think you can't draw!
During this activity, students will:
- Improve their careful observation skills
- Practice sketching like a scientist
What makes a good scientific sketch?
- Students’ science notebooks
- Colored pencils
- Collection of items to sketch, 1 per student, e.g. leaves
- Scientific Sketching PowerPoint or printed example sketches
Most of us, adults and children, associate sketching with making a pretty picture. This association can limit us, especially if we feel we are not good at drawing. A scientist sketches to record and communicate information, not to make art. Along with a drawing, a scientific sketch often includes labels and diagrams, questions and explanations. You don’t have to be an artist to create a successful scientific sketch. You simply have to take time, observe closely, and record what you see.
Recording what you see is different from drawing the picture you have in your head. Many of us have cartoon-like images in our head of trees, flowers, houses, apples, rabbits, etc. When you set out to sketch a real thing, it’s important to focus on the individual specimen in front of you, rather than the generalized image you carry in your head. You can help students understand this by focusing on particularities of an example object – like a leaf with holes in it, or an irregular rock. These particularities are often very important for scientists to record.
One way to help students feel successful is to give them a few practical suggestions for how to sketch a given object. At the very least, give them a first step (this will vary depending upon the object), so that they know how to get started. [See the Scientific Sketching PowerPoint for an example of a step-by-step process for drawing a redwood leaf.] If you provide enough scaffolding, even those students who feel they are “bad at drawing” will have an entry point. It’s very likely those students will come away surprised at their own abilities.
The pneumonic ABCDE [i] gives students a clear idea of what makes a good scientific sketch. It also enables you, as a teacher, to give meaningful feedback to students. Rather than praising a drawing as “pretty,” you can say, “Great job making your sketch big ; it really helps me see the details,” or “I’m glad you included explanations in your sketch; they will help another scientist understand what’s important.” For constructive feedback, try: “What could you do to make this sketch more accurate ?” or “I bet adding color would help another scientist understand what the object really looks like.” This kind of feedback is concrete enough for students to understand why they’ve done a good job, and what steps they can take to improve their work.
[i] ( Full Option Science System: Science Notebooks In Grades 3-6, p. 16 )
- Gather sketching materials.
- Gather leaves or other simple, natural objects for students to sketch. For activity to work, all students must have the same type of item, but many items could work. They should be simple to draw and have variation from one item to the next. Consider using: leaves, shells, rocks, fruit, seeds, or flowers.
- Set up Scientific Sketching PowerPoint or print examples of sketches .
1. Have students retrieve their notebooks, open up to a new page, title it “Scientific sketch” and add this page to the table of contents.
2. [ SLIDE 1 ] Introduce students to the purpose of a scientific sketch. If possible, do Science Notebooks Across Time as a prep lesson before this one, so that students have already discovered why scientists sketch. If you haven’t done that lesson, you can explain that scientists use sketches to capture information for themselves, and communicate information to others. They often sketch when they are doing field research, observing a plant or animal they cannot take back to the lab. Sketches are sometimes more valuable than photographs because they can include specific data the scientist wants to highlight, as well as the scientists’ observations and questions.
3. [ SLIDE 2 ] Put nervous students at ease by emphasizing that a scientific sketch is not about making a pretty picture. It’s about communicating information.
- Explain the difference between “drawing what you see” and “drawing the idea in your head.” (See more on this distinction in the above Background for Educators)
4. [ SLIDE 3 ] Introduce the criteria for a successful scientific sketch. Explain the meaning behind each word in the pneumonic: ABCDE
- An accurate sketch describes the true nature of an object – size, shape, texture, etc.
- The sketch should be big so that we can see details, rather than squished in one corner of the page, and hard to make out
- When possible, communicate more information by making your sketch colorful
- Use words and drawing to make your sketch as detailed as possible. All the little details are what make the specimen you are studying distinguishable from others like it.
- Add labels, questions, and conjectures about what you see. These words make your sketch explained.
5. [ SLIDE 4 ] Explain that students will be practicing scientific sketches with leaves (or whatever object you have chosen). Their task is to make a sketch that is specific enough that another student will be able to pick their leaf from a pile, based on the sketch alone. Depending on the age of your students, you may want to front-load all the directions, or give them a few steps at a time. [ii]
- [ SLIDE 5 ] Start by placing your leaf on the page. Rather than tracing the shape of the leaf, place little dots at the ends of each needle, to get a general outline of the leaf’s shape. Then remove the leaf from the page
- [ SLIDE 6 ] Next, draw the centerline and connect it to the dots you drew. You don’t have to complete all the needles to get a sense of the shape.
- [ SLIDE 7 ] When you’re ready to add more details, choose an area where something unusual is happening on your leaf. Blow it up in a zoom bubble.
- [ SLIDE 8 ] Remember to include words in your sketch. Labels can indicate size, color, texture, etc.
- [ SLIDE 8 ] You should also include your scientific questions about this leaf. Those questions can start with the words, “I wonder..."
- [ SLIDE 9 ] Add color to show what your leaf really looks like.
[ii] We learned these sketching techniques from naturalist John Muir Laws.
6. [ SLIDE 10 ] Give students ample time to sketch their leaves, 15-30 minutes.
- Give occasional reminders to include labels, questions, and colors in their sketch.
- If students claim to be finished quickly, prompt them to deepen their sketch by attending to one of the ABCDE criteria. Remind them that another student will need to be able to identify their leaf, based on the sketch alone.
- Periodically give them a sense of how much time they have left, or add time if it seems like they need it.
7. Explain that students will break into smaller groups of about 10 people, to play a Leaf Matching game. If you’d rather do this activity as a whole class, that will work too. It will just take longer. Each group needs to stand in a circle. Once you have arranged the group into small circles or one big circle, give the following instructions [ii] :
- Place your leaves in the middle (on table or ground).
- Place your notebooks, with your sketches showing, in a ring around the leaves. Don’t put your notebook right next to your leaf
- Take turns making a match by picking up a leaf and placing it on top of the sketch you think it matches. The scientist who made that sketch can tell you whether you are right or wrong.
- Once all sketches are matched with leaves, discuss: what helped you make a match? What do you notice about the different sketches?
8. Ask students to share out what they noticed about the different sketches.
- How did different scientists in our group choose to record information about their leaves?
- What helped you make a match? What details were important for identifying each leaf?
- How is sketching as a scientist different from or similar to sketching as an artist?

Scientific sketching is about looking at something so closely you notice something new.
Lay the foundation for sketching by explicitly teaching the following techniques.
Use "windowpanes" to take stock of materials at the beginning of an investigative unit.

- Tips from Students and Teachers
- Write the test or assignment in your planner the day it is assigned.
- Make sure you write neatly so you can read it, and write enough so you know exactly what to do.
- Write the test or assignment in your planner the day it is due.
- If you were invited to a party, you wouldn’t write the date on your calendar the date you were invited, you would put it on the date of the party. In an assignment notebook, you do both. You enter the assignment when it was given (when you were invited), and you also enter it on the date it is due (the date of the party).
- The physical act of writing the assignment down again will serve as a reminder that you’ve got work to do. Break down long-term tests, projects and assignments into smaller steps so you are doing a specific task each time you have class that moves you closer towards completing your project. Don’t just re-enter the name of the project, test, or assignment; instead, write down the name and what you’re planning to do. Make a schedule for long-term assignments. Do a fraction of the long-term assignment every day.
- Write “No Homework” or “Nothing” or the null set sign if you don’t have any assignments in a certain class.
- Maintenance homework includes studying your flashcards from World Language, studying your notes, practicing your instrument, independent reading, etc.
- Make the planner a part of your daily routine. Carry it with you at all times and remember to check it every morning and every night.
- Fill in your assignment and test due dates as soon as you learn them. Get in the habit of writing in your planner while you're still in the classroom. Don't put it off!
- Show your parent your assignment notebook and your completed tasks/assignments to make sure what you did matches what you wrote in your assignment notebook.
- Ask a friend whose academic success you respect (a study buddy) to make sure what’s in your assignment notebook matches what you’ve been assigned.
- Check Schoology.
- Make sure your name is on the front cover of your planner REALLY BIG. If you forget it somewhere, we’ll know it’s yours.
- After you’ve completed the assignment or the task, check it off so you feel that sense of satisfaction.
- Write down the name and phone number of a study buddy in your assignment notebook.
- Make a weekly to-do list.
- Before you begin an assignment, write down how much time you predict it will take next to your entry in your planner. When you’re done, write down how much time you actually needed.
- Circle what you need to do that night.
- Devise a color-coding system that works for you.
- Write your assignments in your subject notebook, etc. so you’ve written it down twice.
- Start your assignment the night it’s assigned (if you can) to make sure you get it. If you don’t understand something, you can ask the teacher the next day before it’s the day of your class.
- If the assignment is repeated throughout the week, draw an arrow down to the appropriate day or write, for example, “See Monday.”
- Do the longest and hardest homework first. Do the easiest first. Do what you want to do first. Reach into your bag and do something random. Do the most urgent thing first. Do what you remember first without looking in your assignment notebook. Do the projects first – especially if they’re due the next day. All of these strategies work for different kids. Do what works for you, and follow the same routine.
- Use the weekends for long-term assignments, but try to make sure you have one day a week of no homework.

Custom Theme Drawing Assignments
The Templates are Images: The template that you receive is an image and it might be printable "as is" or you might have to save it to your hard-drive and print the template from there. Not all browsers will print images well, and none of them treat images like a pdf file or a word document. When a browser sends the image to your printer, it might send it as a reduced image which causes it print too small, alternately, it might print too big, or, worse case, it might not print at all.
The Recommended Steps are listed at the bottom of this page, and I also made a video showing the recommended steps for handling the drawing assignments. The video is around 33MB. If your screen is small, be sure to watch the video at full size for best results.
Print on paper that can handle the *medium that you child likes to use. *Medium: markers, pencil, ink, etcetera
More Than One
Each drawing assignment form is set to open in a new and different tab or window . I designed the forms to not open in this page so that:

- You can go to the drawing assignment page, which is different from this page , view it, and return to this page to make any edits.
