Creating with Nature: A Museum and School Collaboration

By the Fitzwilliam Museum Learning Department and the Elliot Foundation Academies Trust

In this post, we highlight a creative collaboration between the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and the Elliot Foundation Academies Trust (TEFAT), a multi academy trust specialising in Primary provision. As part of their CPD programme, the Fitzwilliam Museum invited Early Years teachers to participate in a project offering access to the museum’s designated art studio, as well as its collection. Over the course of several months, the teachers took inspiration from their time in the museum to develop and deliver a series of exploratory art lessons in their settings, centred on the theme of the natural world.
