Abstract
The purpose of my research is to disrupt the all-too-human body through art in early childhood education and care. This study begins by constructing the problem of the all-too-human body as it is practiced in the classroom and through art. With this study, I attempt to disrupt this way of reading the body through an art encounter. This involves rethinking/rewriting how we come to practice art making. To do this, I turn to the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari (1987) and employ three concepts: the Body without Organs (BwO), assemblage, and becoming. With these concepts, this thesis is inspired by an immanent relational materialist onto-epistemology.
