Learn to Paint with an Expert!

Angelika Kolbe, a well-known Waldorf teacher, painter and lecturer, is coming to us from Germany!

She has offered to teach a workshop at our school, and we are very grateful. She will work with parents and teachers on color exercises similar to those in Grades 1 and 2 and then paint more complicated motifs which the children experience in Grades 5 and 6. She will also speak about pedagogical and therapeutic values relating to this way of painting and discuss the ideas behind the Waldorf grades painting curriculum.

She is offering this day-long workshop for a very reasonable cost. There is a minimum number of participants needed, so please RSVP by Tuesday, May 5th. Payments are needed in advance and cash is requested.  This workshop is open to all who are interested!
