ELEMENTS


Elements Case Studies

Elements was a practical action research programme of Early Years' creativity, that took place in different settings across Wells and Taunton between October 2016 and April 2017. Six multi-disciplinary artists were placed in reception and pre-school settings across Taunton and Wells.

As part of this project the artist and setting worked together to carry out a Case Study based on a pre-determined research question.
