For the slightly older student, creative form drawing is the perfect application of art and mathematics. This weekly drawing class will borrow methods from Waldorf Creative Form Drawing, focusing on grades 4 through 8, making the transition to freehand geometric drawing! At each meeting, the teacher will “read the room” to best assess what techniques and shapes would best suit the group. This particular section will include Geometry lessons from mathematician and Waldorf teacher Ernst Schubert’s. With looseness and ease, this Art making approach gives students a unique, and personalized experience through their journey of Waldorf Art. As with other Waldorf activities, there will be a strong concentration on seasonal imagery, slowness, curiosity, and nourishment. We will incorporate elements of Norse mythology, Celtic knots, and ancient symbols into our works This an interactive, teacher guided experience, where students are invited to share their work progress and thoughts at many points through out the class. These opportunities for verbal reflection inspire a deeper, and life - long curiosity inherent to students of this educational approach. Those with a variety of educational backgrounds are encouraged, welcomed, and will also enjoy and benefit from this style and approach. Friends who are completely unfamiliar with this approach to art making are also invited ! It is important to me to make this educational approach available to the widest array of students possible. I am so excited to bring my passion for this Art style to anyone and everyone within the appropriate age group.
