Abstract
The focus of this article is the question of how educational processes take place in the context of artistic design and what effects these can have on shaping the phase of life in old age. The data collection takes place within the framework of biographical narrative interviews and is oriented towards grounded theory. The work is based on a specific concept of media, which refers on the one hand to the non-verbal form of expression of visual art, and on the other hand to a subject-related methodology. Visual sketches and works by the biographers are systematically integrated into the interviews as narrative impulses. Photographs of these works form a further form of data material that finds its way into the evaluation through dense descriptions. The author outlines the methodological and methodological procedure and discusses the potentials and challenges associated with it.
