繪畫是兒童表達自我的方式之一，反映本身所見、所聽、所想。同時，也讓不擅言詞的兒童能通過色彩、線條、形狀等元素，將想法訴諸於畫面上；而兒童心智年齡發展，隨先天潛能會有不同的能力表現，通過兒童的繪畫，我們可了解並評估其內心想法，適時培養其學習動機。
一般兒童之外，彷彿身處在另一個想像國度的自閉症兒童及身心障礙藝術家，他們擁有一個與眾不同的感知世界，在未受學院影響及專業訓練下，作品卻自成一格，顯現出強烈自發性與創造性的特徵。
本展覽貫承上述理念規劃兒童畫與原生藝術兩大主軸，以展現其無拘無束、卻又充滿各種變化的特質，即「畫其所感、而非畫其所視」之原始藝術本能，期能帶領大家進入奇思妙想的世界，來趟「畫中話」之旅。
One way for children to express themselves is through drawing, which reflects what they see, hear, and think. Meanwhile, it also allows children who are not good at words to express their thoughts through colors, lines, shapes and other elements on the canvas. The development of children’s mental age varies with their innate potential, and through children's drawings, we can understand and evaluate their inner thoughts so as to duly cultivate their motivation to learn.
In addition to ordinary children, children with ASD and artists with physical or mental disabilities who seem to live in an imaginary land have a different world of perception. Although they have never been taught by an academy or trained professionally, their works are unique in their own way, showing strong characteristics of self-motivation and creativity.
This exhibition is in line with the two main axes of the above-mentioned concept - children's painting and original art - in order to show their nature of being footless and fancy-free, and yet full of variations, namely the original artistic instinct to "paint what they feel, not what they see".
