This product is a fifth edition to my other bellringers. This is intended to supplement volumes 1, 2, 3, & 4 of my bell ringers. This provides art teachers with an entire school semester of art prompts in an organized way. These prompts are organized into an 18 week break down. Each day (or week) students come to class they will complete one prompt for the day. Prompts include students reviewing what has been discussed in the previous art class/lesson, critiquing a famous piece of artwork, various techniques, introducing an element of art or principle of design prompt discussion and a drawing section where students will complete an unfinished prompt. .

Use the “Bell Activities Handout” under my FREE PRODUCTS for students to keep in their binders and collect them at the end of the week. Or, keep track of them in their spiral notebooks--whichever works best for you! Use the “Bell Activities Handout” under my FREE PRODUCTS for students to keep in their binders and collect them at the end of the week. Or, keep track of them in their spiral notebooks--whichever works best for you! Hint: I usually set a timer for 2 minutes after the tardy bell to complete the warm up. After two minutes, I come around and give each student a stamp for completion. At the end of 2 weeks, I collect the handout and give a completion grade. It is much easier to grade with the stamps! This also keeps students accountable to do the warm up daily instead of copying them from a friend just before turning the paper in. This powerpoint is divided by topics with title slides to help you easily find activities for your current topic. The 80 new warm ups that have been added have a beige background. On September 18, 2016, buyer Georgette T. said: "I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this powerpoint!!! I don't know how I ever lived without it!!! It covers so many different topics. I use it each morning with my 7th and 8th grade students and plan on using it for the rest of my Spanish teaching career. Thank you for putting such a wonderful product together!!!"
