Creative form drawing helps children develop hand to eye co-ordination, spatial orientation, observation skills, attention, confident movement, drawing skills and the foundation skills for handwriting. Originally developed by Rudolf Steiner, creative form drawing is used widely in Steiner and Waldorf Schools to enable healthy child development and learning. Form drawing can also be used for helping transform learning difficulties. This books covers the why, what and how of creative form drawing, providing a comprehensive, practical resource for teachers of children aged 6 to 12 years. Review: Very colourful book with good illustrations. - This is a great book for those who want an introduction to doing form drawing with their children. Angela Lord draws on the anthroposophical tradition when it comes to form drawing and as such is not introducing anything new. But the reason you should buy this book is that she does use a lot more colours for the various exercises than seen elsewhere in literature for teaching form drawing to children. She also has the initial body prep well described so all bases are covered. Oh - and did I mention it is hard cover? Great for a book that will receive at lot of use! Review: Great book! - Perfect for class room use or homeschooling. So many great activities for kids.

Skeptic but impressed.
I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would, and was super impressed how much my reluctant writer/drawer really grew by going through this book. We used crayons, and faithfully went through the book daily for several months. My son now has some of the cutest penmanship. The โlessonsโ are super simple, and you could go through the book as slow or as quick as you wanted.

I found the material easy to follow and supportive of my class's development of hand-eye coordination and letter formation.

Introduzione alle forme grafiche fondamentali e al grafismo.
Scelto per โgiocareโ con un bambino di 6 anni, ha incuriosito molto anche un ragazzo di 12. Contiene numerose progressive proposte di esercizi pratici da svolgere con il bambino. Bella grafica, scritto in inglese ma semplice comunque da comprendere. Consigliato per chi voglia introdurre al grafismo in modo semplice e rispettoso dei tempi di sviluppo del bambino. Inizialmente ci sono stati problemi di arrivo del prodotto, che il venditore, molto disponibile, ha risolto immediatamente.
