Conté crayons are often compared to pastels. Granted, both are an artistic medium stick of solid pigment applied directly to the paper. However, Conté crayons are much harder than pastels or charcoals, yielding crisp, tight lines, rather than the more softer, less defined lines characteristic of pastels. Using Conté crayons, an artist can achieve subtle variations of shading in clear, distinct drawings. Conte crayon is quite permanent and artwork produced with a Conte crayon is often treated with a sprayed fixative for added longevity.
In 1903, Binney & Smith realized that if they made a few changes to the crayon they developed for marking crates, they could provide a less messy alternative to the crayons used in their public schools at that time. Binney & Smith tasked a chemist of their company to work at creating crayons that would be both non-toxic and easily mass produced. Binney & Smith were successful in the endeavor to create crayons that would work well for a young school children and soon the cousins were selling a box of eight crayons for about a nickel under the trade name of Crayola. The first box contained the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown and black. Forty years later there was forty more colors added to the color pallette. By the seventies fluorescent colors were added to the line up which brought the number of colors available up to seventy-two.
Crayons… they are something that everybody has loved at one time or another. I can still remember the excitement of opening up a new box for the first time and seeing all of the colors lined up in a perfect row. Every tip was new and unbroken, making coloring that much more exciting. Careful consideration was used on which crayon to color with first. Was it going to be basic blue or red, or maybe one of the more exotic Crayola colors like purple mountain’s majesty or macaroni and cheese? No matter what color a child may use, it has been shown that coloring with crayons, whether in a coloring book or just on a piece of paper, can really be important in the life of a child.
If you were to see yourself as we view you your breath would be taken away. You would be overwhelmed with the magnificence, the radiance, and the glory, of who and what you are. That which you call color and that which we call light is ever moving, changing, expanding, and radiating. The spectrum of colors is so broad that the human eye and understanding cannot begin to imagine, envision, that which is real. You view a box of color crayons with awe and wonder at all the various hues and blends. We would say unto you, even the most drab of individuals, by your estimation, is more radiant than even the largest box of crayons than you have ever seen. The universe has energies and lights that only in your dreams and meditations can you begin to understand. Seek to know yourself, your true self, and you shall begin to comprehend the true beauty of that which is you, that which is real.
My older daughter continued to draw; she especially drew mandalas and other geometric types of pictures. I was proud of her endeavors for they were truly beautiful. Years passed and any thought of coloring was far from my mind, then after my third daughter was born, coloring resurfaced. I was still too deeply entrenched in the line between childhood and adulthood that I resisted the draw of the crayons.
After taking the time to think about it, hopefully, you can see the importance of children using crayons as well. Almost every child loves to color, and the benefits they are provided with from doing this activity just can’t be beat. It’s amazing how something as small as a box of crayons can make such a huge difference. Don’t wait any longer. Pick up a box of crayons for the children you know and love today!
