50 Free Short Art Ideas

I have compiled a list of 50 free short art activities. These are my favorite and most engaging activities I have used over the past 20 years when I just need a short and simple art activity. I use them for the beginning of the school year, the end of the year, just to break things up, or at home for some weekend or summer vacation art activities. Many of these activities require no art materials or mess at all while some require a few simple supplies.
