When Images Become Stories: Holiday Workshop at the Erlangen City Museum
How does a story begin before it becomes visible? In the holiday workshop on November 5, 2026, children from the age of eight will discover the narrative power of the art of Adolf Schinnerer. Between etchings, landscapes, and expressive portrayals of characters, they will develop their own ideas around strong emotions and dreamlike scenes.
From the Depicted Scene to Their Own Narrative
Adolf Schinnerer's works invite us to invent the moment before or after an depicted action. What has happened? Which character enters the scene next? From such questions, narrative sketches, short picture stories, and imaginative narrative approaches arise.
The workshop combines exhibition visits, discussion, and creative work. Children experience the close connection between language, image composition, and imagination. The contemplation of the artworks becomes the starting point for their own stories.
Language Art, Imagination, and Artistic Expression
The focus is on strong emotions and dreamlike scenes. The participants translate inner images into graphic forms and narrate with lines, figures, and situations. This creates a playful approach to literary thinking: each drawing gains a plot, each scene a backstory, and each character a unique expression.
The artistic work fosters observation skills, language ability, and narrative imagination. At the same time, the workshop provides a direct access to the exhibition on Adolf Schinnerer, whose distinctive pictorial world oscillates between landscape, figure representation, and mysterious imagination.
A Creative Holiday Experience at the City Museum
The reading atmosphere of a story is created not only by read words but through collective invention. The city museum becomes a resonance space for ideas, images, and conversations. Children encounter art as a living impulse and experience how an individual motif can grow into a whole narrative universe.
The holiday workshop takes place on Thursday, November 5, 2026, from 9 AM to 12 PM at the Erlangen City Museum. Participation costs 6 euros, reduced 3 euros. Registration is available at 09131 86-2300 or via email at stadtmuseum@stadt.erlangen.de.
Conclusion: Stories Begin with an Image
The holiday workshop opens up a imaginative access to art, language, and narrative for children. Those who want to experience how strong emotions, mysterious scenes, and graphic ideas can lead to their own stories will find an inspiring literary and artistic experience at the Erlangen City Museum.
