Discovering Waldorf Steiner

A sense of wholeness will fill me whenever I come across Waldorf Stiener's teaching/works.

Thankfully there's quite a range of his teachings/works online.

-Lazure painting(Charles Andrade)

Rudolf Steiner created Lazure as a method of painting the ceiling cupolas of the first Goetheanum back in the early 1900s. Originally, the technique was developed using plant-based colors held in an organic binder, often a beeswax medium. This mix created a glaze that was then applied over a surface primed with white milk casein paint. Steiner’s intent was to apply dozens of thin washes of color over the white surface to create a translucent color space that in some ways mimicked stained glass illumination. Later, Lazure painting was used on the walls of Waldorf schools Steiner created. He stated that children should be surrounded by luminous flowing colors in hues that reflect the children’s developmental stage from grade to grade. (excerpt from Ensouling the World Through Color-
