Oh, and you've used a great music selection with this film too.

[rainsong6]

thanks! I actually recorded it right after I finished the drawing... I just watched it back and played something that I thought would fit.

[Elin48]

Wonderful...I'm passing it on for my daughter to watch. She's an artist, mathematician, a budding architect, and a graduate of a K - 12 Waldorf education.

Why does the waldorf system use pastel shades for most artwork? Are bold colours considered bad?

[crazycrookedteeth]

no, they are not considered bad at all.

but, softer colors are used through the teacher's artwork to make the children more comfortable with the warm and welcoming shades. it also makes the child view things as a whole with the colors fusing together, as compared to the colors being bold and sharp, making it more intimidating and each shape shouting for attention.

i hope that helped you in some way =]

When you use the word "welcoming" do you a welcome from the spirit world they have emerged from? That was Steiner's reasoning, that no lines and wishy washy colours are more like the spirit world.

"He (the observer) will link the opaque formations to lower beings, the clear, luminous ones to intermediate entities; the inwardly radiant ones will be for him manifestations of higher spiritual beings." Rudolf Steiner. For Steiner schools, colour is to do with spiritual worlds.

[crazycrookedteeth]

i consider "welcoming" as when you walk into a hazy colored classroom on a school day, it's a more comforatable living environment, than say a very bold and intimidating hue that makes it cumbersome in a sense.

from my 10 years of waldorf education, my experience with different colors is that each shade and vibrance changed your mood and, interestingly enough, the way you think.

i also believe in Steiner's theory about the spirit world and it's relation to colors.

[rainsong6]

Beautiful explanation crazycrookedteeth. We all experience color differently. Personally, I thought the colors I used were very bold - something is lost in the video - My guess is that Steiner would say that the soft nature of chalk and water color allows the soul to penetrate the color. Opaque mediums are more difficult for us to connect to on a soul level....just a guess;)

Hey, Brian! Great art and guitar playing! Nothing like 45 minutes of art compressed into one minute, huh? Great job of filming, too, Erron!
