Digital Art in Early Education: Balancing Creativity and Screen Time

Digital drawing and creative technology are increasingly finding a place in early childhood education, giving young children new ways to experiment with colour, images, storytelling and design while also raising questions about screen time and appropriate use. Tablets, interactive displays and child-oriented creative applications are now being used alongside traditional materials such as paper, crayons and paint, allowing digital art to complement rather than replace hands-on artistic activities.

Duct-Taped Banana Sells for $6.2 Million vs. 6.2 Million Children Die from Starvation Each Year

By on • ( 1 Comment )
Close view of a brown-spotted banana fixed to a white wall with silver duct tape.

A banana duct-taped to a wall has just sold for $6.2 million at Sotheby’s in New York, an event hailed by art critics as a record-breaking triumph. But as headlines celebrate this bizarre spectacle of wealth, one must confront an unsettling parallel: every year, 6.2 million children die from starvation, mostly in Africa. That’s over 17,000 children a day. While crypto millionaires and provocateurs play with their money in the name of “art,” over 700 million people around the world go to bed hungry. There’s something deeply rotten in our global culture when a piece of duct tape and a banana is valued more than the lives of millions dying from preventable causes.
