Elisabeth Wagner-Koch Book order

Im Sprung ("Jumping") is a temporary state that changes when covering the distance from A to B in an in between. Nothing is permanent.The artist Elisabeth Wagner creates nothing for eternity, mostly of her objects are made of paper and cardboard and so the classic media of sculpture opposes their model. Her works accentuate the ephemeral in lasting simplicity. In this way Wagner devotes herself to the general major themes of her medium: the portrait, the monument, the fold as well as the special simplicity of form and object: pine cones, hangers, dogs, pearls or Bearskin. The publication Im Sprung also shows especially the artistic work process by Elisabeth Wagner and opens up a comprehensive insight into her work: sculpture, installation and work in public spaces and their cosmos of reference. The works shown, which spanned a period between 1979 and 2018, are added their models and inspirations visually, that illustrate their points of reference in art history.

Quacki, der kleine freche Frosch, erblickte 1989 das Licht der Buchwelt. Seitdem ist seine Popularität bei Kindern, ErzieherInnen und MusikpädagogInnen ungebrochen. Grund genug, Quacki auch auf Englisch quaken zu lassen und damit unseren Kindern eine erste Begegnung mit der fremden Sprache zu ermöglichen. In den beliebten Klanggeschichten werden Sprache und Klang kreativ miteinander verbunden. So lernen Kinder neue Wörter very easy. Storytelling with Orff Instruments eignet sich für Kindergärten, Grundschulen, für zweisprachige Kitas oder „modern music lessons“. Altersstufe: 3 bis 8 Jahre

"The path that Gerard and Elisabeth Wagner have set forth--which leads to experience of the spiritual basis of artistic activity and strengthens the human being's creative potential--can serve as the means for a renewal of the art of painting out of the eternal and inexhaustible sources of the spirit." -- Sergei O. Prokofieff "What is postulated here is not the dogmatic laying down of a way of working. Rather the aim is to make evident one possible means of access to an experience of the colour world...and guide actual practice to Rudolf Steiner's sketch motifs--to their eminent educational power--for we recognize in them a path that can become of great significance to the developing human soul." (from the introduction) This unique workbook describes the early stages of training for painters, teachers, as well as for beginners. The stages are based on recommendations by Rudolf Steiner for the development of a renewed art of painting for our time. The book draws on Steiner's indications for teaching painting in the first Waldorf school, his lectures on color and art, and sketches he made for painters. Together, they form a self-contained system of exercises for a new, spiritually alive art.
