On the initial premise that Year 1 students prefer to imitate than to think and produce their own ideas, this study aims to develop the Creative Art Tasks in order to produce creative ideas in ‘Dunia Seni Visual’ subject among Year 1 students. The Creative Art Tasks was developed based on Creative Development Stages by Viktor Lowenfeld (1975) as an instructional exercise to enhance student’s creativity. This study has also recognised the usability of Creative Art Tasks as creative exercises in Dunia Seni Visual subject. A pre-test and post-test were conducted to see the extent of the students’ creativity level based on the Creative Art Tasks and a descriptive survey research was employed to collect the data of usability. This study was conducted in Sekolah Kebangsaan Convent Pulau Tikus, Pulau Pinang. The sample consisted of 22 students from Year 1. Based on the findings, the study has demonstrated that the implementation of Creative Art Tasks can deliver original ideas, enhance the level of creativity, besides the fact that it is easy for the young students to use. It is hoped that the Creative Art Tasks can be a stimulus and can also nurture creativity among students.
