In the composition that I read, I do not think the writer was very influenced by the writing implement that she used. She wrote in crayons to depict that images can do what words can do, yet she wrote with the crayons. Why didn't she draw a picture with the crayons to be more creative?
She was a little creative though, because she used different color crayons for each sentence. Similar sentences were the same color. However, I am still baffled why this writer chose to use words? If she believes that images can be flexible, don't you think that she should have illustrated the page with the crayons instead?
While the composition could be much better, it still is unique. She was definitely constrained by the difficulty that crayons present to writing with words, but she still took on this task. She added a twist to this composition by using different colors to show logical sections of her writing. The main question I wonder about once again is why we chose to write in words when we are given a utensil that is more suited for another depiction, such as crayons?
Andrew, outstanding title for your blog post. Crayons are not for writing! If they were, they should make fine point crayons! I have enough problems writing with a pen/pencil!
