I've been interested in form drawing for awhile. I have been hesitant because I felt like there was some secret knowledge. I'm just starting with my Grade 1 son. We are doing forms as they introduced in A Journey through Waldorf Homeschooling Grade 1. I think it will be some good practice. He has already been doing some basic letter writing. So, he played with some of the ones we did. But, honestly I will not stop because I can't do it "right". We enjoyed the process and I think that is what matters to us.
Here is a slideshow from Millennialchild.
Curriculum and more information from Barbara Dewey and Christopherus.
Some lovely examples at Nature Nest.
A Youtube video from A Little Garden Flower. And, the DVD set.
A form drawing lesson on a chalkboard at Flickr. (Check out the entire set of chalkboard drawings. They are gorgeous and I'm not quite there yet=))
I visit your site from time to time and it's been a while, so maybe you explained this already. What is Waldorf? A set of texts? A method? Also, why does your latest entry say Feb. 21, 2010? That is this coming Sunday... just wondering. Thanks! Krystal in VA
ReplyDeleteI fixed the date. Technology is always perfect now is it.
ReplyDeleteWaldorf is a method of education originating in Germany. I've talked about it a bit in past posts and have some links in my sidebar.
