What’s included …
Part One: Not All That Glitters is Gold
Learn which supplies you need (and don’t need!) to get started.
Most families new to Waldorf-inspired art make one of two mistakes; they spend too much, or not enough on the various materials needed to get started. In this section we spend some time exploring which items are worth spending more money on (and why), versus those that can wait OR that can be DIY-ed.
Come away with your custom shopping list
Part Two: Watercolor Painting 101
In Part Two you will experience a simple yet beautiful painting exercise. Down the road, this exercise can become the foundation from which other paintings will flow! We also cover topics such as:
soaking painting papers
mixing paint
setting up your painting station
Storing and caring for your materials so you get the most value from them
Part Three: Block Crayons Basics
In Part Three you will be introduced to those iconic beeswax crayons so often associated with Waldorf art!
We’ll demonstrate (and you will practice!) the techniques needed to get started creating beautiful drawings and main lesson pages.
You’ll also learn how to care for, clean, and store your crayons so that they last a long, long time!
Part Four: Demystifying Chalk-drawing
In this last section you’ll explore the basic chalk techniques you need to get started. Then, you’ll dive a bit deeper and work step-by-step through a beautiful chalk landscape drawing! You’ll also learn how to DIY your own chalkboard at home.
