<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pablo Picasso once said: "All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." I think it’s all about the magic, it’s in my imagination and the fun of crayons inspires me to bring it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My new book THE ART OF THE CRAYON "Something Magical Is Possible" is dedicated to my biggest fans, the kids. It’s set to contain a large collection of favorite art pieces I have created through the years as inspiration to what crayons are capable of.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the early years of classroom visits in schools, I developed a concept of crayon art techniques that help children discover "how things work." Learning styles specialists know that encouraging their sensory and cognitive skills through the fun of coloring will also empower them to become better readers and writers. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In terms of education in an age where art continues to diminish in public schools, only for less desirable forms of entertainment to flourish in its place, the future ultimately rests in the hands of the children. I think that my artwork represents a special landmark for children, that fine art can be created with a simple box of crayons that has been elevated to a distinguished level in fine art galleries, museums and national news media events.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I cannot think of anything more constructive, wholesome and creatively satisfying to the soul than a simple box of crayons. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The secret lies </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">in strengthening the current of creative flow by empowering a child’s creative spirit. The Art Of The Crayon serves as a solid platform which is sophisticated enough to continue building upon for independent and creative thinking.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>WHY KIDS LOVE LEARNING MY CRAYON SECRETS</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Upon entering the art gallery Wednesday evening for art night, I observed a young couple with two young children who were next to my artwork busy coloring with Crayola crayons. They were excited to discover that I was "The Crayon Artist" they had been waiting for to arrive. Jonah was five years old and his sister Etta was four. As they continued to color, I watched the movements of their hands and noticing how tense and stiff they were while pressing the crayon to the paper, I asked them if they wanted to know a big coloring secret, in which they responded with a huge yes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The most important and basic step was to show them how to properly hold the crayon and to move only the fingers which would help them with dexterity, rhythm and grace to their movements. Etta didn’t want to try it in front of me but instead, began to show me what beautiful straight lines she could make. Thinking she may have been afraid to make mistakes, I left them alone for a few minutes to get more comfortable with the "new technology." Upon returning I saw how proud they were to show me their amazing results. I could see in their work better saturation, smoother applications and their obvious excitement of learning something completely new!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Discipline, patience and self control combined with the fun of coloring are important elements which can give children more confidence on their road to higher learning. Amazing results can be achieved using this natural learning concept. I have seen it over and again, a child’s confidence will soar when introducing them to the technical side of "The Art Of The Crayon."</span>Jeffrey Robert The Crayon Artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00005891610908776398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857854561453965989.post-24908150777958196702014-03-27T11:35:00.000-10:002014-03-29T08:31:23.576-10:00Crayon Abstract Realism<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My latest crayon original, AMERICAN HORSE, reminded me of another piece I created earlier in my career entitled, CHIEF JOSEPH, where I strived to create photo-realistic images using only a simple box of Crayola Crayons as my art medium. Although I have not moved away from realism with crayons, I've begun to explore the emotional power of the process that compels me to think farther outside the box.</span>Jeffrey Robert The Crayon Artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00005891610908776398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857854561453965989.post-56107215793507174752014-03-26T13:43:00.000-10:002014-07-31T17:50:39.153-10:00NEW STORYBOOK DESTINATION SERIES<div style="background-image: none !important; border: none; box-shadow: none !important; color: #313131; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 16.5px; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-left: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">For many of us who grew up in Hawaii, it does us well to remember the words of Duke’s mother who use to tell her children “Go out as far as you want. Never be afraid in the water." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">Duke Kahanamoku was baptized in the ocean according to ancient custom. His father and uncle took him out in an outrigger canoe when he was a small boy and threw him into the surf. "It was swim or else," Duke later recalled. "That's the way the old Hawaiians did it." </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I also was inducted in the ocean in this manner by one of my Hawaiian Uncles when I was a young boy and the water has been second nature to me ever since.

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Creating Portraits with Crayola Crayons does not allow for any mistakes and to a large degree must be exact in capturing the essence of a person. There is a lot of sentiment and nostalgia that goes into a Children’s Portrait. To use their very own art medium to create their likeness adds a sense of emotion and wholesome innocence to make it even more special. Adults think it’s fun for them to have their portrait created with crayons too. For me, it’s a creative challenge that I have enjoyed for forty years in seeing people smile at the finished work. Oh yeah, everyone loves to have their portrait framed with a crayon with their name personalized on the crayon wrapper too!</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The inspiration for the<span style="color: blue;"> BLUE HONU ART COLLECTION</span> started with a surf session at a popular surf break called “Honolii” on the Big Island of Hawaii. While there I noticed a great number of Hawaiian sea turtles in and around the inside reef. Especially impressive was the way they harmoniously mingled,swimming in, out and around as we surfed the waves. It was as if they considered us to be a part oftheir sea family! So graceful and fluid in their movements were they. Continuing to be impressed by the experience, I felt that I must color their story through my art of these incredibly calm, serene and laid-back creatures. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is my hope that the Blue Honu Collection along with my other sea life images created with the children's art medium will inspire more sensitivity and compassion from people of the world to live in peace and harmony with this bountiful gift for our uniquely designed sea creatures.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you saw the hit movie "The Karate Kid" you would probably guess where I am going with this post. I’m referring to the importance of how the discipline of repetitive movements for perfecting ones skill and abilities are crucial to optimal performance in martial arts. In the "Art Of The Crayon" an important lesson is likewise learned through the flowing movement of the circular motion as the basis and fundamental structure of developing self control. A sensitive touch is paramount in acquiring the ability to create fine art with crayons. For a young child, this may be a little taxing or stressful at first but its still easily encouraged. To appreciate what it feels like for them, I tried the technique with my alternate hand instead of my drawing hand. I must admit that it helped me to better understand why kids struggle with hand-eye coordination and fine motor-skill development in school.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Acquiring this skill, in my estimation, is an accomplishment and an earned privilege. Not only does it coordinate the muscles of the hands, neck, back and arms but effectively trains the eyes and increases mental powers of the brain as well. When employed through the fun of coloring, the difficulties of exercising crayon art techniques become delightfully challenging, simultaneously enhancing the natural learning experience. I believe if children were to learn and master the crayon art techniques at an early age, it would advance them far ahead of their peers in art and in higher learning. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The video clip demonstrates a process but don’t let the simplicity of it fool you, creating with crayons can build momentum and be as sophisticated and technical as you want.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just invented my own crayon color called "HONU BABY BLUE." </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's the formula I used:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. (1) sheet of paper.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. (1) box of 64 Crayola Crayons.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Select from box the following colors: ROBINS EGG BLUE; BLUE GREEN; PACIFIC BLUE; BLUE; TURQUOISE BLUE; SEA GREEN; YELLOW; BROWN; PINK; BLACK AND WHITE.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. Draw out Honu lines as desired or inspired.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. Then carefully mix, layer and blend the colors together on to the paper until the image is well done.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Coloring PROPERLY with crayons will help children become better readers and writers</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
<b>HOW IT WORKS</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
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.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the medium of crayons because of its simplicity and non intimidating nature. Almost everyone grew up with this fundamental tradition.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My first art project started by opening a brand new crayon box of bright vivid colors that seem to jump out at me. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The familiar aroma continues to trigger memories of a carefree past connected with family and friends. My present artwork promotes the same wonderful sentimental quality. I think we all can connect through this common ground art medium that links the past to present, and now to the future. When today’s kids see what I have done with their medium, it inspires them. Crayons become their very own professional product and uplifts them with a feeling of importance allowing them to become more confident and creative with a sense of security. In other words, it gives value to their art. Adults no longer need to feel intimidated or embarrassed because they know little or nothing about art. Now they can openly express creativity with the same kind of fun that they used to when they were kids. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't like to hear anyone say "I can't draw" because I truly believe that God created us in his image, and because of that, WE ARE CREATIVE. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A new door is open for everyone to become the artist they would like to be without fear of failure, lack of expense or lack of knowledge. Start where you are! There is nothing to risk. Have some fun! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The advantages of drawing with crayons are tremendous. Think of the possibilities for children, family values, inner-city youth, children with learning disabilities, senior citizens, shut-ins, stress management. Art can be as sophisticated and fun as you want. From coloring books to fine art, from relaxation to increased ability. You can find it all right here. Day or night, convenience is just around the corner. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My vision is to present this new fine art medium through tours, lectures, workshops and new products to people all over the world to release their creative spirit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Although my achievements with crayons have surpassed all expectations, I still like to color in coloring books, there's something wholesome about it.... Can you pass me the yellow please? </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
A few days ago I received an email from a college student who I met one evening while at an art gallery in Hawaii. He asked to interview me for a paper he was writing and wanted to know about a certain creative piece of mine entitled "JUST ADD WATER". </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<b>What inspired you to create it?</b><span class="mceItemHidden"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<span class="mceItemHidden">When I created "Just Add Water" I had already completed several crayon drawings of my beach chair series. I enjoyed the personal responses I received from those who pictured themselves sitting in the chairs. People described to me just how they would feel relaxing in the magical settings I had created. Just Add Water was different and was about what I thought happened while the chair was unoccupied, especially once the tide came in.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<b><br />Is there any deep meaning to it?</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<span class="mceItemHidden">The feeling of tranquility is expressed in the life giving force of the blue colors of water and sky through nature, through God who creates all things. The chair represents man's appreciation. The towel represents the soul. The fish represents the breath of life.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<b>What feelings are expressed in the piece?</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<span class="mceItemHidden">It would be that something good is possible when we are able to express our imagination in a way that others may interpret or relate to it. Not to understand it,or rationalize it, but to enjoy the impossible possibility of it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<b>Did you dedicate it to someone in your life?</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<span class="mceItemHidden">My wife and companion is the one whom I dedicate all my creative efforts and share my personal thoughts of my work.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<b>How the culture inspired your piece?</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<span class="mceItemHidden">As a native Hawaiian growing up on Oahu, Hawaii, the ocean and its mysteries continue to be an inspirational theme for me.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<b>What was difficult/easy?</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">
<span class="mceItemHidden">Thinking things through, taking my time and patience with unexpected problems are part of the creative process. Technical application may become difficult when blending with imagination. What comes easy could be termed as understanding what I am doing. But that's the beauty of it...it's easy because I work so hard at it. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">SHRINK TO FIT is one of the artworks I created in my first year of working with Crayola Crayons and it was a major breakthrough for me in developing technique. I still own the original.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">I had 4 or 5 pair of Levi jeans spread out around my drawing table so I could take a closer look at the denim to see how it faded, examine the stitching, the different colors of blues, where they were worn the most and to capture that leather patch on the waistband. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">I titled it SHRINK TO FIT because that is what we did back then when we bought a new pair of Levi Jeans, wash and wear them until they would shrink to fit!</span></div>

I plan to watch the 2nd DVD of the Shiny Red Apple tonight after I get off work! I'm a senior citizen still having to work for a living to make ends meet but I'm still a kid at heart and remember the smell of those crayons! :)Thank you so very much for sharing your artistic expertise with the rest of us wannabe artists. I'm 63 and still hope to create something of value to leave to my children. Maybe it will be done with crayons thanks to you and your generosity.</li>

<a name='more'></a><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I am an art teacher and have always felt an affinity to crayons. I argue with my peers that art can be taught with nothing more than a box of crayons (yes sculpture and painting). Jeffrey Robert has gone a long way to affirm my position.<strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> My students are already beginning to use his techniques and are light years ahead of students of the same age groups from surrounding schools.</strong> Thanks so much for the inspiration you have given me to inturn instill in others.</span></div>

The video “A Shiny Red Apple” evolved as a visual tool to help the student learn of the delicate hand pressure and hand movements used in a step-by-step process of application to completion. The certificate below was awarded to educators completing a required public school in-service course in which segments of the video “A Shiny Red Apple was used. The success of the course was gauged by the unanimous comment:<strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> “This is the most fun that I have ever had in attending an in-service.”</strong></span></div>

Quality Education Systems whole-heartedly endorses Jeffrey Robert, The Crayon Artist, for his unique artistic vision and the process by which he shares that vision with students.

I've seen the children's self esteem sore after Jeffrey walks around and comments on their work. Thank you, Jeffrey for starting America Coloring!</span></div>

My first original of Maui was inspired by a visit to Kamehameha Beach in Lahaina, next to the harbor, which is one of my favorite places to surf. The lefts there can be pretty fast and fun for a regular footer like me. On this particular day I took several photos of the beach and water, then combined them with my imagination and crayons to create a piece of art that portrays what paradise "feels like"... the air in Lahaina is always invigorating and the atmosphere is alive with happy people everywhere. I can usually count on the sun shining and the weather being just perfect! I titled the piece LAHAINA and framed it in my signature floating crayon frame design with the title printed on the crayon wrapper serving as a nameplate for the artwork. The original is available at Images Fine Art Gallery in Lahaina.Jeffrey Robert The Crayon Artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00005891610908776398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857854561453965989.post-55026927929944006752011-07-25T10:30:00.001-10:002015-03-25T06:09:21.165-10:00THE ORIGINAL CRAYON ARTISTS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As simple as they appear, there’s a lot to them. First of all, just opening a new box of 48 or 64 still stimulate my eyes, nose and touch just as if I were a kid but mostly it affects my imagination! And to think, I don’t have to worry about wasting expensive paints or canvas so I’m free to experiment all that I want. <br />
So, what do I do with all of this color? That’s my motivation…its like traveling to somewhere I would like to visit! Yes, and I know just how to get there with them. Maybe getting there wasn’t as simple as all that in the beginning but I have always been excited to think of the possibilities of what could be done with a box of crayons and paper. And then the hook, I can’t believe I did that with just crayons!<br />
