Abstract Recently, the Ministry of Education of the Korean Government announced the “2015 Revised Curriculum” with the purpose of developing the “creative and convergent human”, who have both emotion and personality in Sept. 2015 in order to improve the modern education which had focused on knowledge only rather than feeling and senses. This study is designed to make the educational environment in which children can develop their bodies, spirits and minds in a harmonious way to deal with rapid changes in the various teaching and learning methods and activities in the educational courses and schools. The study focuses not only on the educational ideas, goals, and contents of Rudolf Steiner’s “Waldorf Schools”, which are the model of right education, ‘education and arts’ and educational reform in the 21st century but also on the characteristics of educational courses and architectural space through the Steiner’s anthroposophical architecture and the analysis of the principle of color. This study will check the applicability of the school’s architectural space to the changed educational policy and educational courses with respect to the common and selective educational education, and creative experience activities at the elementary school’s architectural space in Korea.
