Painting and Drawing for Waldorf School Students: Grades 1-8

A comprehensive teachers' manual that provides a complete artistic curriculum suitable for Steiner-Waldorf Classes 1 to 8 (age 6 to 14) is presented. Painting and drawing are key artistic expressions that play an important role in children's physical, emotional, and spiritual development. This manual offers a complete artistic curriculum for Classes One to Eight in Steiner-Waldorf schools (age six to fourteen).

The book demonstrates the skills that teachers can help children develop at each stage. There are 280 practical exercises for teachers to use, and over 800 drawings and paintings as inspiring examples of artistic possibilities. The curriculum moves from free drawing to guided color exercises and precise perspective drawing.

The exercises draw on elements of the Steiner-Waldorf curriculum at appropriate ages, incorporating themes from fables and legends, the Old Testament, Norse mythology, animals, Ancient Greece, and botany. Throughout, the author draws on art theory and shows that art is truly a universal language.

Additionally, the book is suitable for adult self-study. The comprehensive teachers' manual provides a complete artistic curriculum that can support the development of children's physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being through the medium of painting and drawing. The practical exercises and inspiring examples offer a rich and engaging learning experience for both teachers and students.
