I had this idea, years back, to start a subreddit for missed photos, IMAP instead of ITAP—"I missed a picture." I was going to make it a paragraph description, but this would be just as good.

Edit: guys, see how this is all in the past tense? I'm not going to be doing it. I don't want to be a mod.

It's been about half an hour. Have you done it yet? Or are you going to let someone else beat you to it?

[-] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 14 points 2 years ago

Yesterday you said tomorrow - just do it!

I love this. Do it and I guarantee I will share at least 3 drawings.

[-] fishos@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Piling on to say do it. I'd subscribe.

[-] cokeslutgarbage@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

I would subscribe and contribute to this community for sure. So often I see amazing things and don't have my phone to capture it, and it would be a cool place to share some of those things, both serious and silly ♡

back in the 90s I worked for a pc tech shop and my buddy in a different office location would often quick draw customers and reactions, then fax them to me. It was a game, telling a story, all via fax. gah, I loved the 90s… today these same drawings would be on the front page for 1 day and then forgotten until some bot reposts them. But in the 90’s, we could tell adventure stories in 3 block panels to others via fax.

That could be a good experience for the baby.

I wonder if there is some research showing the effects on exposing babies to visual art.

[-] EndHD@lemm.ee 41 points 2 years ago

maybe, but i feel like while it may correlate, it's not the cause. the cause is more likely that if a parent cares enough to show their child art, they're probably more nurturing and prioritize academia more than parents who raise an iPad kid

[-] Gormadt 15 points 2 years ago

Yeah this would be one that's really hard to separate causation from correlation that's for sure

Who's to say they're not looking at art on their ipad? Not being able to afford or have the time or ability to take a day off and travel to a gallery, or having a neurodiverse kid who doesn't like crowded spaces, or whatever other reason they might be using an ipad doesn't make "ipad kids" bad.

I don't disagree with your larger point, just with the framing of "ipad kids" as the bad part when it's a symptom (of a society where people feel obliged to have kids even if they don't want them and/or are required to work so hard just to survive that they don't have the time and energy to spend with their children).

(and for the record just to save any jumping to conclusions - I don't have kids, don't plan to, this isn't some defensive thing, I just think that your framing is off)

[-] EndHD@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

my apologies. i meant "iPad kid" as in the Internet stereotype where the kid essentially throws a tantrum if they can't watch their skibidi toilet. and their parents don't take initiative to engage the child in something more beneficial

if the child uses an iPad to look at art, that's a great use of the tool and i fully support it

hopefully that clears up what i meant :)

Interesting new-to-me recommendations on screen usage for kids from AAP via NPR (2016):

  • no screens under 18 months, unless it’s live video chat (RIP Omegle)
  • 15mo to 18mo: screens alongside parents only (e.g. iPad like picture book)
  • 2-5 y/o: Sesame Workshop and PBS for trusted educational media

Kids 2-5 should limit to one hour per day, and co-view with caregivers.

I’d be surprised if someone read “iPad kid” as “kid whose mom spends seven hours per week sharing together in PBS4iPad”.

I’m glad you’re sticking up for autistic kids and overworked parents. I do think it’s good to advocate against wholesale turnover of parenting to dopamine scrollers… wherever possible! If you work three minimum wage jobs to survive, I hope we recognize you’ll have to do the best you can.

I don't know about visual art but there is about music. Exposing a baby to complex music (many notes), like classical and jazz can help develop perfect pitch. The brain learns musical notes like it learns language.

[-] Lemmygizer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Depends on the art. High contrast imagery is generally considered developmentally important.

Michigan State Study

Figures babies aren't known for appreciation of artistic subtree

[-] xX_fnord_Xx@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Babies take to art at an impressive rate, you just have to really grind their face into it.

The crying stops once they understand the art.

Well I'm afraid there'd be a lot of featureless stick men...

[-] MinusPi@yiffit.net 15 points 2 years ago

That's fine imo. Photorealism isn't necessary to tell a story

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

The op pic isn't photorealistic but I can't still draw like that.

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Thats wholesome and adorable. My pops used to always pick me up to see stuff when I was little.

[-] TheThunderWolf@thelemmy.club 10 points 2 years ago

everyone bring this to the front page plz

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Draw a picture, it'll last longer

[-] magnusmanske@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Was it a picture of Vigo the Carpathian?
