Considerations by Grade (Painting and Drawing in Waldorf Schools Classes 1 to 8 by Thomas Wildgruber)
Class 1:
"Following on from practice of simple forms, children are encouraged to color in the areas formed by lines."
Class 2:
"Now forms appear in a rhythmic sequence in which symmetries (right - left, above - below) are highlighted. Encourage children to use new perspectives for coloring the spaces that arise in between."
Class 3:
"The loop is the starting point for a sequence of exercises. The loop variations lead into every new circular form. Loops are shown in circular form, with the focus on swinging the line dynamically in and out. Further possible exercises: parallel vibrating lines and centrally arranged angular forms."
"Form drawing is inherently healing. Its true means of expression is the line, whose dynamic is used therapeutically."
"A therapeutic process can arise that stimulates inner equilibrium and stability and enhances attentiveness and perception. We can learn that supporting and being supported belong together - in life as well as in form drawing." Eva - Maria Johannes
