Our Class
Each class will begin with an opening verse. We may review and practice forms from previous classes to determine how student's skills are developing. At times we may also begin with a short series of spatial exercises to ready the body for listening and drawing.  Each week we will hear a new poem or story that will inspire the forms we draw for the class. Themes for the Level Two Class include mythology of the  Norse.  At this level we begin to study more advanced forms, including braided forms as well as focusing on art terminology with things such as color theory. 

What is form drawing?
Form drawing is a technique commonly used in Waldorf Schools to help children learn shapes, develop spatial skills, set the base for and improve handwriting, and learn about geometic shapes and how they can be created, as well as how to use color to create patterns. It consists of a series basic forms which will build into increasingly complex geometric shape and finally a complex pattern composed of the shapes that have been learned. Drawing forms, while it may seem simple at first glance, involves developing the use of a steady hand, good concentration skills and a firm grasp of the use of lines and curves. These lines and curves are the foundation for all things both drawn and written.
