Blackboard Beauties – Online Course
The Art of Blackboard Drawing in the Steiner Classroom
Self-Paced course starts 30 Aug with live Session 29 September. When we immerse children in a world of vibrant colour, through artistic means such as the beauty of a teacher’s blackboard drawings, then we are able to offer the child a soul experience to colour and form. It is from these blackboard drawings in a Steiner classroom that much of the exciting curriculum is presented, bringing curriculum content to life. In Steiner schools, we use colour and creativity as a curative approach, one that helps the child experience the curriculum from an inner feeling and not just an intellectual understanding, Head, Heart and Hands. In this 7 1/2 hour course, participants will be led through a series of online sessions with one two-hour live session. Course Time: 5.5 hours self-paced online learning + 2 hours live online session Individuals: $200 incl. GSTEnrolments Closed
