Ages 7 and 8

The child is now beginning to learn how to use their hearts and minds as a window to the world, and their hands as real tools.

The class works with the theme of Fairy Tales and Nature Stories as a means of cultivating their feeling and awareness.

In class, the teacher tells a story. The children are encouraged to listen deeply, and later to integrate their thoughts with imaginative images. They then create artwork (watercolor painting, crayon drawing or beeswax modeling) based upon their inner experience.
