Is there a term to describe a drawing/picture that covers an entire page instead of just taking up a portion of the page?

The printing term used for a graphic that goes to the edge of the paper is "bleed."
A picture postcard, for example, would be a full bleed, as the photo goes right off all the edges of the card. A paperback book cover, might be a three sided bleed, where one edge of the cover is folded over, to create the spine, which may not be a continuation of the cover's image.

Full page spread. I've also heard splash used for more than just the introductory panel of a comic book. That's assuming you're talking about an illustration. If you're talking about a drawing/picture you bought from a gallery to hang on your wall, I'm sorry, there is no difference -- what differentiates a sketch and a drawing has nothing to do with how much of the paper it takes up.

Full page art, full page panel, both those would work. If it was two pages wide, say for a magazine, they call that a two page spread. The smaller sizes are often called spot illustrations.
