Illustrating Waldorf Education K-12

Grade 12I have been working a new series of illustrations for Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School’s biweekly newsletter. I needed to come up an image for every class at the school, from our three kindergarten classes all the way up to twelfth grade. The challenge was create something that gave both a larger picture of the entire Waldorf curriculum while highlighting a theme from each year. I did my best to represent as many subjects as possible while maintaining some degree of flow from one image to the next. Here are the final results! If you are interested in purchasing some of my work, please keep scrolling down to the prior post. [The below illustrations are currently not for sale.]

I’m still waiting for my dream (paid) illustration job to land in my lap, so if you happen to know what it is… please send it my way! Something not too big, not too small…

Painting in the Waldorf Curriculum

UPDATE 09/01/17: Some of these paintings are on view and for sale at the Hawthorne Valley Farm Store’s Cafe Gallery throughout the month of September. Please contact me directly with questions regarding purchasing or pricing. . 

For the last two years I have attended the Alkion Center for my Waldorf Teacher Training. Below is some of the work from my final research project on painting within the Waldorf curriculum. I worked with the questions of how to approach a painting’s subject matter and how to develop it through the feeling life into a pedagogical color exercise. I often painted the same image over and over again, even if the results were relatively the same in effort to build the proper color sequence for the children’s painting experience.
