Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify how Waldorf education has been developing at Steiner schools in East Asia, focusing on its art education. As the approach of research, observation of art classes and inquiring surveys for teachers were conducted at Steiner schools in China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan, using a general curriculum published in Europe and the United States as an index. It is confirmed by the research that the curriculum of Waldorf education isn’t regarded as a dogma but rather the reference material which prevents teachers from having a class on their own authority. It was also revealed that some examples of art education at Steiner Schools in East Asia are rooted in the culture, tradition, history, environment and locality in each region, and Waldorf education has been developing in Asia in their own style, unlike the original one in Europe and the U.S.
