When the first line becomes one's own image space

The exhibition From Children's Drawing to Image Space presents works by Stefanie Schäfer at the Christian Morgenstern House in Göttingen. The focus is on how spontaneous lines, shapes, and color impulses evolve into independent painting. The visit provides a concentrated art experience between children's drawings, image discovery, and aesthetic experience.

Childlike perception as a starting point for art

Stefanie Schäfer has been accompanying children in Waldorf kindergartens for decades. From this pedagogical experience arises a precise view of the original gesture of children's drawing. Houses, paths, figures, lines, and colored areas appear not merely as developmental stages, but as elemental forms of human perception and creation.

From spontaneous drawing to painterly condensation

The exhibition shows how children's image ideas transition into independent artworks. Spontaneous drawings gain a new presence through artistic treatment. Surface, color, rhythm, and spatial effect enter into a poetic dialogue. The works preserve the directness of children's drawing while simultaneously developing a clearly condensed visual language.

Viewing works, art education, and aesthetic experience

The exhibition combines painting with cultural education and invites attentive viewing of the works. Historian interests especially lie in the transition from the immediate gesture to the consciously composed surface. Visitors experience how a simple trace develops into an image space and how closely creative freedom, perception, and human development are interconnected.

A quiet exhibition venue in Göttingen

The Christian Morgenstern House provides a calm, concentrated setting for the works. The exhibition atmosphere supports a decelerated observation in which colors, shapes, and painterly condensations unfold their effect step by step. The exhibition is accessible on Sundays from 11:15 AM to 1:15 PM and by appointment and runs until December 12, 2026.

Conclusion: Experience art as the origin of seeing

From Children's Drawing to Image Space opens a sensitive view of the beginning of artistic creation. Art enthusiasts, families, and all friends of art education will discover an exhibition that connects drawing, painting, and human development. Those who want to experience the aesthetic feeling of the first line and the poetic power of the image space live should definitely visit this presentation at the Christian Morgenstern House.
