Sunset and the Five C's

At the annual Alliance for Public Waldorf Education conference, Rick Tan hosts a watercolor painting class for teachers of public Waldorf schools. This year, he has titled it "Sunset and the Five C's" where he will instruct the class through a painting that evolves in complexity, modulating the five C's: COLOR, CONTENT, CONTROL, CHARACTER, and CONNECTION.

With each water color painting lesson that teachers engage their students in, Rick believes that the knowledge of the those five components of painting allow teachers the freedom to explore and express this medium with their students in a pedagogical and developmental way.

The annual conference offers public Waldorf administrators and teachers to stay connected with each other and with the teachings of Waldorf education, always in the spirit of learning and bettering themselves to be of service to their students and families.
