Form Drawing Day 3

In Class 4 the Form Drawing works to enrich the development of what will later emerge as the intellect. This is through the Celtic woven and braided forms. The image of spinning or following the thread of a thought gives us some idea of the connection of these forms to the new forces of intellect soon to be born. Being able to interweave ideas, to follow the pattern and see how each thread crosses over the other brings a healthy organisation to the thinking.

The curriculum here points to Celtic and Norse woven forms and braiding. These forms require a lot of detailed visualisation. They are no longer in the realm of natural absorbing of gestures but are challenging to the child. Drawing braiding of up to 5 threads or intricate intersecting woven designs requires the children to be completely focussed. In addition, earlier linear forms are transformed according to proportions of the main fractions studied or are centred around a circular helping line.
