How do graphic expressions originate? What attributes, structural formations and developmental tendencies are observable in early graphic expressions? Is that which emerges a product or a process? Are its attributes universal or are they always bound to the specific cultural context from which they arise? Wherein lie early pictorial awareness and aesthetics? What general aspects of early human symbolic behavior do early graphic expressions convey?

How do graphic expressions originate? What attributes, structural formations and developmental tendencies are observable in early graphic expressions? Wherein lie early pictorial awareness and aesthetics?
Since 1999, we have devoted our research at the HGKZ* to this area of inquiry. The realization that reliable and broadly accepted empirical knowledge on the origins of graphic expression has yet to be gained is a motivating factor as well as a source for our studies.
As a first result, we publish en empirical reference of early graphic expressions produced by European children. The publication consists of a picture archive (c. 25'000 pictures, c. 200 children, age c. 1 to 6) and a tutorial. The archive and the tutorial is accessible over the Internet (open in September 2007; read only) and will be available as book and DVDRom in 2008 (read and write, including interactive instruments).
