Teaching of a specific subject; Educational: Art & design

Form drawing, allowing children to understand the idea of a form and encouraging them to recreate it in their own way, is a key principal of Steiner-Waldorf education and its study enriches the teaching of all subjects in the curriculum.

This unique book first explains form drawing and its role in Steiner-Waldorf schools, while also tackling practicalities such as advice on suitable paper and pencils. It goes on to offer a wide selection of exercises for Classes 2 to 5, with step-by-step instructions on how they can be taught, arranged both by class and by theme, drawing on examples of pupils' work and images of forms from nature and cultural heritage. Teachers can use these lessons as an inspiring starting point.

This fascinating and beautiful book will allow Waldorf educators, at school and home, to confidently teach form drawing to their pupils.

Reviews for Living Lines: Form Drawing Inspiration for Steiner-Waldorf Teachers

'[Thaulow] strikes a wise balance between giving explicit guidance and allowing space for individual initiative... This book provides a valuable resource, full of ready-to-go ideas. Perhaps more importantly, it is also a source of inspiration and encouragement and for anyone interested in form drawing, in whatever context, I'm sure it will be very helpful indeed. Whether a newcomer to this activity, or a seasoned practitioner, there is much to discover and use.' -- Martin Hardiman, former Steiner-Waldorf class teacher and form drawing teacher
