The Creative Quest
A Search for the Elements of Art!

Embark on a scavenger hunt for the six elements of art! Students exercise creativity and self-expression as they learn about shape, form, color, line, space and texture. These concepts come together when all elements are found and the children are rewarded with their very own Knack Sack. They will also:


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

The Knack - As a resource for moms and teachers, The Knack (SM) helps enrich kids' lives through creative play.
