Senior Self Portraits, Class of 2022
The Self Portrait
"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."
- Aristotle
We are not an art school but every senior at KWS paints a self-portrait. This not only represents the culmination of the Waldorf painting curriculum, but requires students to engage with the deep questions of identity: "Who am I?", "How am I seen?" and, most importantly, "What is my place in the world?"
In high school, a new questioning about life and the personal search for truth and self-knowledge emerges and students are ready to confront good and evil, questions of destiny, evolution, and identity. Through the self-portrait project, students are challenged to really look at themselves closely to create a physical likeness but to also look deeply at who they are in this world.
Our high school curriculum encourages students to look at themselves, reflect back on their lives, and go out into the world and contribute to it from the sense of who they are.
When students graduate from Kimberton Waldorf School, they leave with not only a strong academic foundation but with a sense of who they are, the ability to think for themselves, and the confidence in their capacity to learn and do whatever they put their minds to.
