Chalk Drawing | Botany Waldorf Main Lesson Block
To kick off our Waldorf Botany Main Lesson block and Plants and Trees unit study, I did a 4'x6' chalk drawing of a forest scene that will remain in our homeschool room for the duration of this unit. I used a chalk drawing I did in 2010 as inspiration for this drawing. Originally I copied parts of this out of the Live-Education main lesson book for Botany while finding inspiration from other drawings.

Waldorf Botany Chalk Drawing
The complete plant is the first lesson for the Waldorf Main Lesson block for Botany. This chalk drawing illustrated the plant with its root, stem, leaves, fruit/seed, and flower. This drawing was made using chalk pastels by Sargent Art found at fine art stores
Chalk Drawing | Botany
To kick off our Waldorf Botany Main Lesson block and Plants and Trees unit study, I did a 4’x6′ chalk drawing of a forest scene that will remain in our homeschool room for the duration of this unit. I used a chalk drawing I did in 2010 as inspiration for this drawing. Originally I copied parts of this out of the Live-Education main lesson book for Botany while finding inspiration from other drawings.
Today’s drawing took 2.5 hours over the course of two days. It’s four feet by six feet and it’s on my mobile chalk board which was originally a slate chalkboard that I recently painted with Rustoleum chalkboard paint.
I try to do at least one chalk drawing for each unit.
Waldorf Botany Chalk Drawing
The complete plant is the first lesson for the Live Education Waldorf Main Lesson block for Botany. This chalk drawing illustrated the plant with its root, stem, leaves, fruit/seed, and flower. This drawing was made using chalk pastels by Sargent Art found at fine art stores. Ours were purchased from Dick Blick. This drawing took about 30 minutes to do and will remain on the chalkboard for about a week or less. The botany main lesson is typically for grade 5 in a Waldorf school. My 10 year old 5th grader and 15 year old 9th grader will be doing these lessons. My 5th grader did his drawing on pastel paper using oil pastels. The accompanying page in his main lesson book includes a color pencil drawing with explanation of the lesson in the form of copywork. My 9th grader did his in his main lesson book using Lyra color pencils. His narration includes original work as well as copywork.
