“As a teacher new to Waldorf education, this book has
been an invaluable guide to developing form drawings. I have found that
the children's work became more balanced, coordinated, and harmonious.
The children had a greater attention to detail with special awareness
after doing these exercises.” —Victor Ray, class teacher at Michael Hall Steiner Waldorf School, Kidbrooke Park, England
Creative
Form Drawing Workbooks 1 and 2 are form-drawing resources for teachers
working with specific age groups. They are designed to be used with the
Steiner/Waldorf curriculum from classes 1-3 (workbook 1) and classes 4-5
(workbook 2). Creative form drawing helps children develop hand-eye
coordination, spatial orientation, observation skills, confident
movement, drawing skills and the foundation skills for handwriting.
Originally developed by Rudolf Steiner, creative form drawing is used
widely in Steiner/Waldorf schools to enable healthy child development
and learning.
The volumes include sections on the purposes of
form drawing, how to use form drawing to counteract negative
screen-effects, and the origins and development of creative form
drawing. Creative Form Drawing is an informative and easy-to-use
resource that will be of great use to anyone wishing to use this
valuable developmental tool with children.
