Educating through art

Informationen zum Autor Agnes Nobel is a child psychologist and lecturer in pedagogy. She lives in Sweden. Klappentext Agnes Nobel examines the importance of art in the development of the child and looks for some answers to the vital question: what is education for? She goes on to investigate why Waldorf/Steiner schools attach such importance to art in education, and why Rudolf Steiner himself brought artistic training into all fields of further education. She describes Steiner's picture of the developing child, his views on the imprint of early experience on the child's whole being and the importance of living relationships and community in the Waldorf school. She shows how these ideas were expressed in the curriculum of the schools. There have been many books written on the Steiner approach to education but they have usually been written from within the Steiner educational movement. This book takes an "outsider's" view of Waldorf education and assesses its unique qualities, successes and limitations. Zusammenfassung Investigates why Steiner-Waldorf schools attach such importance to art in education and why Rudolf Steiner himself brought artistic training into all fields of further education.
