Painting and drawing are key artistic expressions which play an important role in children's physical, emotional and spiritual development. This comprehensive teachers' manual provides a complete artistic curriculum for Classes One to Eight in Steiner-Waldorf schools (age six to fourteen).

There are 280 practical exercises for teachers to use, and over 800 drawings and paintings as inspiring examples of artistic possibilities.
