“Follow the Directions” Art Exercise

I believe this idea has been passed around before, but I have decided to make an art version of this “Follow the Directions” exercise. I think the beginning of the school year is a good time to remind students that they need to read instructions carefully, no matter what class they are in. This questionnaire clearly says to read all 10 items first before doing anything else. If students truly follow these directions, they will see that #10 notes they do not need to do anything at all, just fold the paper in half, maybe draw on the back and wait for others to finish. A friend told me that this exercise had a big impact on her when she was young, so I’m hoping I can do the same. You can download a pdf version of the page HERE. I’d love to hear any feedback from those that try this out....
