2-3: Children and drawings

Selection of drawings

For the present study, we have selected children’s drawings from the archive of originals of Gilles Porte described in our digital re-edition of "Portrait–Selfportrait"; for direct access, see:
>> "Portrait–Selfprortrait" (Part 1)

The drawings selected were those for which the visual quality allowed for a clear representation concerning their digitisation. All drawings of the first digital publication "Portrait–Selfportrait" were thereby included.

For the digital reproduction and editing of information, see also the above-mentioned publication.

For further details, see the publications of Gilles Porte, mentioned in chapter 1-3.

Digital picture archive

As a result, a digital picture archive was created comprising the reproduction of 2103 drawings of as many children, living in 36 different countries and thus having produced their drawings in very different contexts.
