Unique to Waldorf Education, form drawing helps children (and adults!) to build a sense of spatial awareness, a sense of balance, a sense of movement, a sense of design, and a sense of the shapes, both in positive and in negative space. First grade begins with all drawing being made of straight lines and curved lines, and then the drawing builds, grade by grade, year by year, with the children's development. Form drawing is beautiful, elegant, challenging and cultivates clear thinking and the weaving of thought. This book brings a remarkable variety of approaches to Form Drawing and is mostly in vibrant, full-color pictures, and very little text (1,000 words in each picture!). This book is fully translated into English, though the original was written in English, German, and Dutch! Looking for a guide to artistic courage in drawing? This book will be of great help! Looking to teach at home and yearning to add artistic work that also promotes healthy brain development? Here's the answer in a single glorious publication!
