The final Natural Science subject studied in the Waldorf grade school is Human Anatomy. Now the eighth grader comes face-to-face with the skeleton, that part of our body which is universal, and yet which serves our unique destiny as we move and act throughout our life. I was always impressed with the existential relationship that many eighth graders have with this main lesson block, as they, in the fulness of their lives, face the image of death. The "self-portraits" that conclude this gallery presentation reveal the intensity of this relationship -- and the humor that it nonetheless evokes.
