Primary school art worksheet to use at the end of a lesson as children start to finish their work. We refer to it as Free Draw, but it still provides guidance and structure whilst allowing the children to use their imagination. Pupils fill in the circles with detailed drawings of items that are circular in shape, e.g. pizza, dough nut, eyeball, apple, etc. Sheets can be stuck into pupils sketch books and added to at each session as time allows. The task is fun but encourages observation, lateral thinking and drawing skills. Suitable for all levels of ability. Also useful in a unit on 2D shapes.
