Cultural trends through kid drawings

Riley Walz charted drawing trends on student art portfolio Artsonia.

Kids shape culture, and their drawings show what captures their attention. I scraped over 100 million drawings and paintings from Artsonia, an online student art gallery, to explore almost 20 years of favorite characters, passing obsessions, and everyday life.

Just search for a topic and you can see the trend line for the past couple decades along with charming artwork. I think Baby Yoda’s appeal is just about worn.
