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.

Good idea. Seriously. Do it, do it.

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 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] fishos@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months 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 9 months ago (9 children)

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@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

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

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

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] MinusPi@yiffit.net 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

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

[–] TheThunderWolf@thelemmy.club 9 points 9 months ago

everyone bring this to the front page plz

[–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Draw a picture, it'll last longer

[–] magnusmanske@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 months ago

Was it a picture of Vigo the Carpathian?
