Colors.

After lots of people told me they like my most recent essay for school I decided I would paste it on up here for you to see.


In pre-school and elementary schools you are likely to see two things, children and artwork. One of the more popular mediums for the artwork created by the students in pre and elementary school, can be crayons and markers. The teacher’s reason for an artistic assignment does not matter, but the colors the students are exposed to usually do. When children in general are exposed to a multiplicity of colors in coloring mediums, they are more likely to be prepared for the full spectrum of concepts in the world.

Racism is one of the most popular reasons for some of the largest tragedies in history. In addition to it provoking unspeakable violence, it restricts and makes equality very unpopular. A child is born naïve to the world. That would mean that the concept of being racist, discriminating against another group for a specific quality, would have to be learned from another thing or person. Crayola created a line of coloring utensils for children to color in ethnic skin tones. Crayola’s description of the product is as follows: “Crayola® Large Multicultural Crayons come in an assortment of skin hues that give a child a realistic palette for coloring their world.” From this description, it can be decided that Crayola wants to support the notion of accepting people with an acceptance of different cultures of different skin colors. However, racism is not close to the only problem that children face in their futures.
Children can be taught negative things like limitations. This happens too many times in the world throughout generations. When a child’s mind is developing it is possible to place psychological blocks that have the ability change the entire course of their lives. These can turn into personality flaws and blocks on their overall aptitude. However, during their creative expression, if they have a color selection as wide as all outside, then they have a good idea of how many shades and hues the world comes in too. If children are exposed to many different aspects of colors, their mind has the ability to be pushed to another level of thinking, enabling them to get used to the many different ways the world works. The benefits do not stop at a different approach to understanding life either.

Most, if not all of Crayola’s products are geared towards young people. As apart of their learning as student they are responsible for learning new things. Crayola colors come in such colors as mauvelous, orchid, shamrock and outer space. One thing that the crayons that have these colors have in common is that they all make references. For example, mauveleous is similar to the color mauve but the name mixes the word mauve and marvelous, and if a child is younger than the grade level that they learn that word in, then they are set to have a wider vocabulary then they are required to have. Shamrock is the symbol of Ireland, a commonly found plant and was often used as a medical remedy. Orchid is a unique flower that has very unique qualities unlike the similar tulips and roses that are often flower clichés. Outer space is another way of saying space or the universe, a core concept of an understanding of the infinite space around the earth. All of these things lead to a bigger vocabulary and the beginning fabric to the tapestry of a person’s knowledge. Names of colors have the ability to lead to other things that children will learn.
In all mediums for creating works of art, colors have the ability to open up a child’s mind to different concepts that they would still learn, concepts they might not learn until later on in their lives. Colors that can spark their creativity into a full out electrical storm of good things they might not have come up with on their own. Children should know that the world holds more possibilities than a box of crayons holding all of its unique colors.

and for the wordle...
