Kia Ora E Hoa. Welcome friends 

 

Annie and I are back together again, not experts, but two Steiner nerds chatting about cool esoteric things. Gee wizz there are some nuggets of wisdom in here. We start off discussing the spiritual nature of Art and how Rudolf Steiner suggests we transform it in the future. Perhaps a bit controversial for some modern art lovers, but bare with us and keep those minds open!

 

We then move along to discuss the Spiritual natures of 6 art forms. What are they, how are they relate to the human body, and how can we use it to educate. Not only do we talk of art, but this conversation ended up being a podcast that could be good for people wanting to get 101 on Waldorf education and Steiner's view on human development. 

 

Also you can hear heaps and heaps of tips from Annie about teaching art to your children. A really good intro into how to bring a Waldorfy vibe to your art lessons, how to deliver a painting lesson, and how to teach different temperaments (particularly the choleric child). 

 

Here are some points made in the chat. 

 

Thoughts as living things. The brain as a RECEIVER of thoughts, not a thought creation organ.

 

We discuss this the evolution of consciousness and thought perspective from the lecture series 'Art and it's mission'

 

 

Colour, tone and light from the spiritual world and form of the physical. The Artist brings these two into harmony.
