Long ago back before there were many factories all around the world creating millions of different colors of crayons everyday, there was a giant cloud in the sky. This cloud went on for miles. On that cloud lived millions of crayons. When the crayon people first arrived on this island by a magical floating boat there was only 40 of them. But of those 40 crayons there was only four types of colors. There was red, blue, yellow, and white, 10 of each color. They were all forced to stay with there own color. The government of that cloud divided them into their pods. The Red crayons would have to live in their part of town and could only marry other red crayons. The blue crayons had to stay with the blues. Same with yellow and white. The Government was made up of four crayons, one …show more content…
Sketch “AHHHHHHHHH!!!!” interrupted the crayons outside. “What's happening outside?” asked Mrs. Crayola They all went to the window and looked outside. The crayons outside were running around and screaming uncontrollably. In the distance they saw the edge of the cloud getting closer and closer to them. Crayons of all colors were falling off the cloud left and right. Disappearing into the ground. There was nothing anyone could do to stop that. The cloud kept shrinking and shrinking. They were all getting closer to the edge. Then all of the sudden the cloud was gone. All the crayons were falling from the sky. They made all these beautiful colors in the sky. That's also how the northern lights were formed too. Ever since that cloud disappeared crayons were no longer made in clouds. People on factories started making them in all sorts of colors. Factories started making them so then the crayons could do what they wanted and they didn't have to listen to any rules. And that is how the different colors of crayons were made. Now there are many different colors of crayons all because of the crayons on the clouds that were tired of listening to the
The Girl with the Brown Crayon tells a simple personal story of a teacher and a child, interweaving the themes of race, identity, gender, and the essential human needs to create, and to belong. With these characteristic charms, and wonder, Paley discovers how the unexplored territory unfolding before her and Reeny comes to mark the very essence of school, a common core of reference, something to ponder deeply and expand on extravagantly. The child, Reeny, meets a writer of books and story-teller, is introduced to his fictional characters, and debates, with other children, their virtues and weaknesses.

In existential thought it is often questioned who decides what is right and what is wrong. Our everyday beliefs based on the assumption that not everything we are told may be true. This questioning has given light to the subjective perspective. This means that there is a lack of a singular view that is entirely devoid of predetermined values. These predetermined values are instilled upon society by various sources such as family to the media. On a societal level this has given rise to the philosophy of social hype. The idea of hype lies in society as the valuation of something purely off someone or some group of people valuing it. Hype has become one of the main driving forces behind what society considers to be good art and how successful artists can become while being the main component that leads to a wide spread belief, followed by its integration into subjective views. Its presence in the art world propagates trends, fads, and limits what we find to be good art. Our subjective outlook on art is powered by society’s feedback upon itself. The art world, high and low, is exploited by this social construction. Even when objective critique is the goal subjective remnants can still seep through and influence an opinion. Subjective thought in the art world has been self perpetuated through regulated museums, idolization of the author, and general social construction because of hype.
The Girl with the Brown Crayon tells a simple, yet deeply connected personal story of a teacher and a student, as well as other students that embrace themes of race, identity, gender, and the essential human needs to create, and to belong. It is about maintaining order, though a sense of self, one’s own knowledge, capabilities, exposing the strengths and weaknesses while forming one’s own identity in school for the teacher and the students. Becoming a part of something greater than self, but not losing oneself, and how educational interaction can take place between teachers and students, all in an effort to fit in, belong, yet keeping one’s own identity through the growth of change and acceptance
When asked about the book Harold and the Purple Crayon, renowned children’s author Maurice Sendak responded by saying, “there are no lessons in ‘Harold.’ You have fun, you do what you like and no one’s going to punish you” (NPR). Written in 1955 by Crockett Johnson, many critics have praised his book, Harold and the Purple Crayon, for delightfully embodying the beautiful innocence and bliss of childhood, one journal saying “Harold and the Purple Crayon has long been celebrated as depicting and encouraging children’s creative activity” (Collins). Similarly, biographer Philip Nel writes that “(Harold) has captivated so many people because Harold’s crayon not only embodies the imagination but shows that the mind can change the world: What we dream

Landesman defends a view called color skepticism, that nothing has any color, neither bodies nor appearances. He came to the conclusion that colors do not exist. In making the case for his "color skepticism," Landesman discusses and rejects historically influential
The relationship of brothers usually lasts forever, but in Louise Erdrich’s short story “The Red Convertible”, the relationship of the main characters Lyman and Henry takes a turn. Erdrich takes her audience through the experiences these brothers face and how they must come to terms that their relationship has changed. Knowing that it will most likely never be the same both Lyman and Henry try to fix their relationship until eventually one falls because of the experiences he faced in life. While Lyman may think the red convertible will save his and Henry’s relationship, Erdrich makes it clear that it will not through the characterization of the brothers, the plot of the story, and the symbolism she uses to tell her story.
Living in a world filled with mostly black and white, color is craved. Approximately ten years after reaching freedom, Sethe is forced to watch her mother-in-law fade away. Baby Suggs is bed ridden in a room full of nothing but dull browns and grays, and maybe a little white. The only thing she enjoys is seeing the world outside with what color is possible, and the quilt laying on her bed. Although the quilt is quite boring too, there is two patches of orange that stand out. Those two
This study will enable individuals to get more precise, specific details on how color is developing in early infants. By making this information available to the public, it could help parents further understand their child and what changes are going on in the developmental stages. It could also help the consumer production by producing stimulating child toys at different stages of color development.

Crayola Shooter was created against a fading gray cement parking lot wall. To the top right corner is a typical to parking sign in sharp red letters, against a bright white background. Underneath the sign is a child sketch of bird in blue crayon. To the left of the bird and the sign are more child sketches of green zig zags showing grass, and multiple flowers that have green stems and multi-colored petals. Overlooking it all is a bright yellow sun with a faded out smiley face. In the middle of it all is...
The challenge of cleaning out my desk drawers in preparation for the move to New York results in my stumbling across an old coloring book. I leaf through the pages, startled by the number of pictures I’d left only partially colored. With quick, shaky movements, it seems as if I had simply jumped from shading one image to the next, as if there were something complete about leaving the figures incomplete. Sitting at my desk, fourteen years older, I laugh at my rendition of Big Bird, whose characteristically yellow feathers I had made blue and whose feet (I suppose I had decided) were altogether undeserving of color. And yet I get a sense that thi...
The sunset was not spectacular that day. The vivid ruby and tangerine streaks that so often caressed the blue brow of the sky were sleeping, hidden behind the heavy mists. There are some days when the sunlight seems to dance, to weave and frolic with tongues of fire between the blades of grass. Not on that day. That evening, the yellow light was sickly. It diffused softly through the gray curtains with a shrouded light that just failed to illuminate. High up in the treetops, the leaves swayed, but on the ground, the grass was silent, limp and unmoving. The sun set and the earth waited.
