OverviewAI-generated summary

Christopher M. Schulte's research centers on the artistic, play-based, and aesthetic practices of children, with a specific focus on drawing and its connections to historical and contemporary childhoods. He investigates how children's drawings reflect their experiences and understanding of the world.

To support this work, Schulte founded and directs the Center for the Study of Childhood Art. This center serves as a hub for interdisciplinary research, teaching, and community engagement aimed at rethinking the study and practice of visual arts in children's lives. He has co-edited publications such as "New Images of Thought in the Study of Childhood Drawing" and "Visual Art With Young Children: Practices, Pedagogies and Learning."

His scholarly output includes work on topics such as the development of a "deficit aesthetic" in childhood drawing, the evolution of dimensional accuracy in forming processes, and systematic reviews of research in art education, specifically concerning social and emotional learning. Schulte's work also explores archival methods for researching children's drawings, particularly in relation to historical events.
