The Creative Quest
A Search for the Elements of Art!

Teaching Moments on this Tour:
On this self-guided tour, groups engage in a storewide treasure hunt to discover the six elements of art. An easy-to-follow treasure map and fun clue cards direct teams throughout the store, exploring shape, form, color, line, space and texture. These concepts come together when all the elements are found and children are rewarded with creating an art project.

Additional learning experiences:

  • Develop an enhanced awareness of art
  • Practice problem solving and teamwork
  • Come to understand the evolution of art

As this is a new program, please contact Field Trip Factory with any questions.
