The present thesis is divided into three chapters and deals with the role of art in Steiner's educational method. The first chapter addresses the principles of Rudolf Steiner's pedagogy, the structure of the school and the three seven-year developmental stages, focusing in particular on the second stage. The second chapter examines art education in the second seven-year stage, in particular its educational value, the methods used and examples of teaching activities. The third chapter analyses the reality of the Steiner school in Vallebona and Seborga, enriched by an interview with a Waldorf teacher.
