Through Children’s Eyes

Bodrum, Turkey. “Steiner100” exhibition: Words from Waldorf teacher Duygu Gümüş.


I have been a Waldorf educator in a Waldorf kindergarten for thirteen years, and I have a tendency to see things through the eyes of children. I have countless opportunities to observe the multifaceted effects of music on them, how they discover new directions when playing with beeswax, and the look of wonder when a child discovers color secrets. There is a moment of openness when I stare at a blank sheet of paper through a child’s eyes, leading the way to develop self-awareness. Rudolf Steiner’s view of the vital role of art in the human evolutionary journey has always filled me with awe and reverence since I first heard it. Art is not a luxury. Establishing an intuitive, clairvoyant connection to the spiritual world is vital. Anthroposophy leads humanity to a direct, intuitive perception of being part of a greater spiritual truth. In today’s world, our society needs to restore the natural balance by permeating art into our lives with the guidance of anthroposophy.
