These 12 tag shaped drawing tasks will give your students choice, keep them busy and provide them with a challenge. Print them in colour or black and white.

This is a classic homework which asks your students to create a page of mark making. There is an A4 version and I’ve also put 4 on a page to cut down on photocopying. The WAGOLL (What A Good One Looks Like) is for you to show in class as a good example.
