With these materials, moods can be created in beautiful broad strokes. What is often forgotten, however, is that you can also draw very well with them, as the material lends itself excellently to capturing the gesture of form. This, however, requires mastery of various drawing techniques linked to this material,” says Paul van Meurs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul van Meurs was a class teacher for 22 years and then worked for 20 years as a senior education advisor. He now supports teachers in delivering arts education and education as an art form. In this way, he helps teachers and teams shape Waldorf education. For many years, he conducted the blackboard drawing course during the Waldorf teachers’ week.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is the result of extensive research into didactics, materials, and techniques in drawing and painting education. It is specially designed to introduce teachers (and therefore also children) to the versatility of drawing with Stockmar blocks. Paul van Meurs: “These blocks are much more to me than just materials – they are carriers of my ideas and vision. Thanks to their rich colours and composition, I can easily shape my ideas. But above all, the blocks are just incredibly pleasant to work with!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book offers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn introduction to 18 different techniques that make drawing with these blocks possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA step-by-step explanation of drawings and exercises.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYouTube videos accessible via QR codes, demonstrating the techniques.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe illustrations are almost entirely drawn in black, so that the shapes and techniques are shown as clearly as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra inspiration: several examples in which drawing from colour takes centre stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn inspiring workbook to discover creativity and drawing skills in an accessible way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftcover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercurius","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42443382718519,"sku":"MER 65211800","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/7597\/files\/65211800_mercurius_paul_van_meurs_drawing_with_stockmar_blocks_top_view_cover_cropped_hr.jpg?v=1789479203","url":"https:\/\/www.nest.ca\/products\/drawing-with-stockmar-wax-blocks","provider":"Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
