About Maria Cristina

My name is Maria Cristina Contu and I am a painter. I was born in Escalaplano, Sardinia, the 22nd of June 1970. ​ I graduated from at the Art School in the 1989 and moved to Rome to continue my studies. ​ In 1990 I launched my first and very successful Exhibition at "Il Colore" Art Gallery, with sixty Oil and Tempera paintings along with pencil drawing. ​ My interest in colour and art techniques took me to Caltagirone and Palermo, in Sicily, where I've mastered the Techniques of Pottery Decoration with some of the best art teachers. ​ In 1994 I opened my first Art Studio. Still fascinated by pottery I've enrolled myself at School of Arts of Romano Ranieri, who has been a life guide and a great Maestro. I attended his Ceramic Painting courses for over 10 years. ​ With my three children's birth, along with a group of other parents, in Cagliari we founded a kindergarten that, through Waldorf Pedagogy, brought me deeply into Rudolf Steiner's studies. I have been attending Training and Courses such as NPY - Business organisation, Stone & Clay Sculpture with Renzo Rastrelli, two-year advanced training in Designing Pedagogy Spaces. ​ With the enormous pedagogical knowledge gained through Waldorf studies, I elevated my teaching to another level when I began to teach and transmit my love for art to people with disabilities, such as my students from the "Peter Pan" association where I worked from 2011 to 2019. During many summers, my garden has become the cradle of artistic events, masterclasses and courses with the most variegated students. ​ I am now in London, since the 2020, where I paint, teach and enjoy the company of my daughters.

The Waldorf method, also known as the Waldorf education system, is an educational philosophy that emphasises holistic development and creativity in students. In the context of art classes, the Waldorf method offers a unique approach that focuses on nurturing the artistic abilities and imagination of students. Here are some of the reasons why I decided to only teach with the Waldorf system: 1. Emphasis on creativity: The Waldorf method encourages students to explore their creativity and express themselves through various art forms. This approach allows students to develop their artistic skills and imagination in a supportive environment. 2. Integration of arts into the curriculum: In Waldorf art classes, artistic activities are integrated into various subjects, providing students with a well-rounded educational experience. This interdisciplinary approach helps students make connections between different subjects and fosters a deeper understanding of the world around them. 3. Hands-on learning: Waldorf art classes often involve hands-on activities such as painting, drawing, sculpting, and other artistic techniques. This hands-on approach allows students to engage actively in the artistic process and learn through experimentation and exploration. 4. Focus on individuality: The Waldorf method recognises and celebrates the unique talents and abilities of each student. In art classes, students are encouraged to develop their own artistic style and express themselves authentically. This focus on individuality helps students build confidence and self-esteem as artists. 5. Cultivation of imagination: Waldorf art classes emphasise the importance of imagination in the creative process. Students are encouraged to think creatively, envision new possibilities, and experiment with different artistic techniques. This cultivation of imagination helps students develop problem-solving skills and think outside the box. Overall, the Waldorf method provides a nurturing and supportive environment for artistic expression and creativity. By incorporating this unique system into your art classes, you are offering students a rich and engaging artistic experience that fosters their holistic development as artists.
