Rudolf Steiner’s Seven “Friedwart” Sketches:

One hundred years ago, in 1923 Rudolf Steiner gave seven pastel sketches as themes for adolescent students to work with in watercolor painting. These included a sunrise and sunset, trees in sunny weather and trees in stormy weather, a tree by a waterfall, a profile head study, and a mother and child motif. They have since become part of a painting training for artists. What is the significance of these pictures as artistic exercises? In this online painting workshop we will explore each one of these themes in terms of their color build-up and formative inner necessity, as well as why they are appropriate for the adolescent and the artist. The five sessions will take place on five consecutive weekends in July and August 2023. 
This course is for teachers, artists and students of Rudolf Steiner’s work.
