CRAYOLA CRAYON PORTRAIT
Coloring PROPERLY with crayons will help children become better readers
and writers.
From my earliest years until sometime in elementary school, coloring with
crayons remained to be a creative and fun activity. Later I discovered the
importance of "fun" and how it plays a significant role in "The Art Of The
Crayon" as a learning style that develops sensory perception at all levels.
Eyes learn to see, hands develop control, the imagination begins to process
as they all work in harmony to release creativity to accomplish its desired
goal.
HOW IT WORKS
Hand-eye coordination is the ability to track the movements of the hands
with the eyes, thus enabling the eyes to send important signals to the brain
about hand movement. Poor hand-eye coordination can greatly compromise your
ability to exercise and can also affect everyday tasks such as
writing. Hand-eye coordination allows the eyes to indirectly coordinate
the movements of the hands. Your eyes send electrical signals to your brain
providing information about visual stimuli. Your brain then sends signals to
your hands telling them how to move in response to these stimuli. This
complex process occurs in a split second, but errors in the process can
result in difficulties coordinating movement, balance problems, trouble
focusing the eyes on the hand's movements during exercise and sports and
difficulties with learning-related tasks such as reading and writing.
