Our approach to painting is through the technique of watercolour. We favour plant-based pigments, which have a particular light quality and vivifying action on the soul.<\/p>

The training is based on indications for a new art of painting given by Dr.Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) in his lectures, paintings and sketches. Known collectively as the Training Sketches these \u2018picture seeds\u2019 were done in answer to a request from the painter Henni Geck as a way forward for her painting school. Henni Geck (1884-1951) was the first painter to use these indications.<\/p>

In 1928 Gerard Wagner (1906-1999) became Henni Geck\u2019s pupil and throughout the following years based his painting and colour research on the Training Sketches. Through these he was able to find a key to answering the question of how form comes out of colour. He wrote:<\/p>

Rudolf Steiner formulated the question that is the decisive one for painters today: how does form arise out of colour? In his sketches and paintings Rudolf Steiner gave examples of how colour can lead to form, as well as to an experience of the world of formative forces. For this reason the Training Sketches can be regarded as the beginning of a new art of painting, which is in accordance with the development of modern consciousness.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The curriculum is intended to develop insight into the interrelation of colour and form; the aim is to reach an individual living experience of how form comes out of colour.<\/p>

Short blocks of colour eurythmy and black and white shaded drawing accompany the painting activity.<\/p>

The contents of the study sessions are mostly Rudolf Steiner\u2019s lectures on art, colour and art history. These \u2018study sessions\u201d consist\u00a0of reading, conversation, and student or teacher presentations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
