Artistic Work from 5th, 6th, and 8th Grade

We are proud to share some of our student's artistic work.

Each main lesson block in Waldorf Education contains an artistic component. From The Practical and Creative Art of Form Drawing by Beverly Amico:

The cognitive benefits of drawing are well proven and include improved memory retention and recall, neural plasticity, motor skill integration, and development of divergent thinking skills. Waldorf students often draw and illustrate as they create their main lesson books for each subject. Illustration plays an integral role in history and language arts as well as in math and science lessons.
