Drawing Prompt

4th grade completed a quick drawing prompt activity by first tracing a circle and drawing a rectangular base for a snow globe. Then students had five minutes to sketch a birthday party inside the globe. The goal was to use details and creativity, not to over think or worry about having the best drawing.
