This book gives an overview of the Waldorf School teaching plan and art curriculum. The book thoroughly investigates many aspects of art that Rudolf Steiner spoke of in lectures, notes, and demonstrations. Particular emphasis is placed upon his work on color. Specific lessons are given for the elementary classes, and discussions of principles and various suggestions are given for the secondary classes. The curriculum leads the child through the intricacies of his or her physical and spiritual development, integrated through artistic and intellectual activities. In the lower classes students develop observational skills through imaging and imagining of fairy tales, myths, and legends. Artistic handling of nature, soul moods, and portraits are taught in the upper classes. This book is divided into three parts: (1) "The Basic Principles of Painting from the First to the Eighth Class" (Margrit Junemann); (2) "Lessons in Making Things that are both Practical and Artistic in Classes Nine to Twelve" (Fritz Weitmann); and (3) "Rudolf Steiner's Recommendations Regarding a New Kind of Art Education" (Fritz Weitmann). Full page color photograph examples from each lesson are provided. (LB)

Unique to Waldorf Education, form drawing helps children (and adults!) to build a sense of spatial awareness, a sense of balance, a sense of movement, a sense of design, and a sense of the shapes, both in positive and in negative space. First grade begins with all drawing being made of straight lines and curved lines, and then the drawing builds, grade by grade, year by year, with the children's development. Form drawing is beautiful, elegant, challenging and cultivates clear thinking and the weaving of thought. This book brings a remarkable variety of approaches to Form Drawing and is mostly in vibrant, full-color pictures, and very little text (1,000 words in each picture!). This book is fully translated into English, though the original was written in English, German, and Dutch! Looking for a guide to artistic courage in drawing? This book will be of great help! Looking to teach at home and yearning to add artistic work that also promotes healthy brain development? Here's the answer in a single glorious publication!
