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 (1 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

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

But it's safe to say: Every single person who confuses correlation and causation ends up dying.

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.

Figures babies aren't known for appreciation of artistic subtree

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.

Idk, clearly the baby thinks it's a mediocre piece of art😐
