This story introduces children to the archetypes of line and curve—will and feeling, structure and flow. Perfect for first-grade form drawing blocks.
In a world where lines walk and curves dance, Sir Straight and Lady Curvy each travel their own path—one fixed and forward, the other soft and spiraling. But when they meet at the edge of a river too deep to cross alone, something beautiful begins. Through the gesture of cooperation, the two discover a hidden land where form is alive, and every shape carries meaning.
As Sir Straight and Lady Curvy journey together, they reveal how difference can become harmony, and how form can awaken the soul. Each chapter introduces a living lesson through story, movement, and verse--guiding the process of drawing each form.
BOOK #2 - THE LIVING LESSONS LIBRARY
A collection of gentle, imaginative books that guide children into the world through artistic experience.
Each book invites the young soul to experience the elements of the world: the curve of a line, the warmth of a color, the breath of a tone, and the shape of a letter. Through this meeting, the child is uses creative expression to explore deeper laws that shape the world around us: rhythm, resonance, polarity, balance, and harmony.
This series nurtures the child’s inner relationship with the outer world, through the senses. Sight, sound, movement, and meaning unfold through carefully crafted stories, verses, and guided artistic experiences.
