Creative form drawing is a fascinating + meaningful artistic activity for health + wellbeing. It engages the right side of the brain through the flow of colour, form + movement.
Form Drawing and Colouring: for Fun, Healing and Wellbeing offers space for personal creativity, with stunning colourful forms to stimulate originality. It aims to be both calming + enlivening, + is a valuable aid to harmonising body + soul.
Rather than filling in the lines' as one would in a mainstream colouring book, the reader is provided with forms in varying states of completion to copy, experiment with + develop. This approach offers more creative freedom, as the reader can choose at what level they wish to engage with the forms, be that relaxing drawing or intensely concentrated creation. Printed on high quality cartridge paper to ensure easy drawing.
This creative form drawing book features fourfold patterns of increasing challenge + complexity. It references Celtic, Moorish, Native American + Buddhist patterns + encourages the development of new forms. The forms have symmetry; a balance between left + right, above + below, connecting the centre to the periphery + providing stability + harmony.
The forms are rhythmical, having a pattern that moves in flowing shapes + lines. Other forms are organic, as drawing organically inspired forms such as flowers helps one experience nature's colours + designs. Flowers provide inspiring ideas for colour combinations + for new forms.
Originally developed by Rudolf Steiner, creative form drawing is widely used in Steiner/Waldorf education to support healthy child development + learning.
