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'm empty inside, but I still work."
  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.

Heck i'd get enough for me too and join her!
- 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.

I might even commission this artist.

I love it.

- What?

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.

Not really, my parents would've crucified me for this lol
I think it is correct to let a child do something like this in their own space, but I'm not a parent lol
And like I said, my parents who, if you can believe this, are parents, would've killed me.
- 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.
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?

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

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

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

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

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

Art college, maybe
- ehhh, I was gonna guess probably furry conventions or perhaps more optimistically a lucrative career in shitposty webcomics (think oglaf), but sure lets shoot for the moon.
- Same thing.

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.

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

I thought Nyan cat translated to cat cat?
*Looks up Japanese for moose
What we have here is a Mūsu Moose!
- 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!

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

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

I'm okay with it. Pretty great actually.

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.

this is the artwork of the century.

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".
