When Children's Drawings Become Independent Image Spaces

The exhibition From Children's Drawings to Image Space showcases images by Stefanie Schäfer at the Christian Morgenstern House in Göttingen. On October 11, 2026, a quiet exhibition space will open for a special exploration of the works: children's drawings appear not merely as documents of child development but as starting points for an independent artistic engagement.

The Original Gesture as the Source of Art

Stefanie Schäfer has been accompanying children in the Waldorf kindergarten for decades. From this long-standing experience arises a keen eye for lines, shapes, color tones, and spontaneous image orders. She understands children's drawings as windows into the developmental path of human beings and as indications of the origin of every artistic design.

With sensitivity, the artist transforms these impulses into small works of art. From the immediate gesture arises a concentrated image space where perception, memory, and painterly condensing meet. The exhibition invites visitors to attentively trace the transition from the first line to the composed surface.

Painting Between Observation and Transformation

At the center stands painting as a process of transformation. Spontaneous signs, houses, paths, and colored areas gain a new presence. The origin in children's drawing remains visible, while the works simultaneously develop their own aesthetic order. This tension between originality and artistic processing characterizes the exhibition atmosphere.

The presentation offers a stimulating art education and art historical approach to the question of how images are created. It combines the exploration of works, cultural education, and aesthetic experience. Visitors experience how an independent image space grows from a simple trace and how childlike perception continues to evolve in painterly form.

A Quiet Place for Concentrated Seeing

The Christian Morgenstern House provides a reserved framework for the works. The calm atmosphere supports a slowed-down observation, where colors, shapes, and spatial effects unfold their impact step by step. The exhibition is suitable for art enthusiasts, families, and anyone looking to rediscover the creative origins of images.

The exhibition can be seen until December 12, 2026, on Sundays at 11:15 AM and by appointment. Admission is free. A vernissage with Stefanie Schäfer took place on September 13, 2026, following the Human Dedication Ceremony.

Conclusion: An Art Experience about the Origin of the Image

From Children's Drawings to Image Space opens a sensitive view of drawing, painting, and human development. The exhibition shows how poetic image language can emerge from childlike imagination. Anyone wanting to experience art as aesthetic experience, cultural education, and a living process should definitely visit this special presentation at the Christian Morgenstern House on site.
