Talented child artist

  I feel like I’d allow this in a kid’s room. It’s fully behind the door so I don’t have to look at it and it’s their space.

  Ultimately, it’s less destructive to the house than the missing door stopper.

    Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. At a certain age where they’re not just finger painting randomness anymore, why not let a kid run wild with their room. It’s not the end of the world if you need to re-paint the walls if you need to move.

    It’s a hollow core door, it’s mostly paper anyway.

      I know, door. Me too…

    I’d allow or even encourage something like this but ideally only on the wall and not covering the door plus not with crayons or marker since those can be a pain to paint over. But other than that I agree, why not? It’s a way for them to incorporate their own design ideas into their living space.

  If I had a kid and they did this I’d take them out to buy them more art supplies.

      Honestly if they’re not doing damage have at it. We’re painting this room before we move out anyway.

      would also get some varnish and save that for all posterity.

  You’re damn right I’m okay with it.

  • ameancow@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I might even commission this artist.

  now there’s a kid that’s going places. Not college, but places.

  source

  • IndiBrony@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Art college, maybe

    • archonet@lemy.lol ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      ehhh, I was gonna say furry conventions or perhaps more optimistically a lucrative career in shitposty online comics, but sure lets shoot for the moon.

      Same thing.

  You can spot the parents here.

  They are expressing themselves, having fun, and off the iPad. They even put it where I don’t have to see it too often. I’ll call it a win.

    Yep, this is how Michelangelo started, painting his bedroom walls. One day, it’s the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Well, that’s been done, but maybe the food court ceiling at the mall.

      what’s a mall food court grandpa?

    Not really, my parents would’ve crucified me for this lol

      I think it’s a bit of a generational thing. The internet has given us access to a lot more reliable information. Far more parents have learnt the difference between what’s effective and what feels good. Yelling feels good, it doesn’t actually work very well. Rolling with it, followed by a calm discussion gets far better results. Achieving this mentality is another matter, but using it as a goal helps moderate your reaction.

  Actual question for parents : why is this a problem ? Drawing on the walls of one’s own room seems like a great creative outlet !

  • Maalus@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Rented out house, also fucks up with repainting it which you do need to do after sometime

    • LordKitsuna@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Eh, heavy primer will take care if most anything with a few coats. It’s only marginally more work

      Most kids paint is washable, so I imagine painting over it won’t be so bad.

  Missing the pop-tart body, otherwise we could have had a wild Nyan Moose

  source

  • IndiBrony@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I thought Nyan cat translated to cat cat?

    *Looks up Japanese for moose

    What we have here is a Mūsu Moose!

    source

    • corvi@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Close. Nyan, or nya, is the equivalent of meow. So you need whatever sound a Japanese moose makes.

      I didn’t know this. Mūsu Moose sounds even better! Mūsu Moose it is!

  Eh. My opinion on this is “Your room, your walls.” Unless the kid decides to start drilling holes or otherwise destroying the wall, it’s fine. It can be painted over later on.

  Or, it may be a good opportunity for washable paint.

  I’m okay with it. Pretty great actually.

• moakley@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Yeah, I’d probably leave that up for a few years. I have trouble throwing away any of her artwork.

  • Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I’d stick it in a gallery, must be on the original medium though.

    source
• Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  I say keep it. It’ll distract from the hole in the drywall.

  source
• RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Yup. Go for it, kid. And the best part is you can drag out the rainbow farting moose any time a childhood story is needed to mildly embarrass and laugh with your kid.

• AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  We had an art wall. You need an art wall.

  At least she got the colors in the right order!

  Nice styles, lucky she’s good :D

  Fuck it, let it stand. Just tell her not to do it anywhere but her own room.

  Isn’t 10 a little old to be coloring on walls? My kids stopped doing that by 6. Not trying to say I’m some kind of super dad, I’m far from perfect, but 10 seems a little old to still be coloring on walls.

    I was definitely still drawing/writing on my walls in high school, and I’m not even “artsy”.
