with Georg Locher
The dramatic development of human consciousness during the Renaissance is most clearly documented in the interweaving of art and science. Early pioneers of science and leading artists in the Renaissance ushered in a new era in human evolution, which Rudolf Steiner called "the consciousness soul age". Students in grades 6, 7, and 8 reflect this strongly in their challenging passage of discovery from childhood to youth.
This pedagogical and visual arts course invites teachers and parents who work and care for teenagers, as well as those who are preparing themselves to do so, to experience the essentials of the Waldorf upper elementary grades curriculum. In addition to extensive artistic studio activity, we will undertake outdoor sketches, practice observational science, and share the aims, tasks, and challenges of meeting this age at home and at school.
Materials Fee: $30
