A Study on Describing and Sharing the Colors of Landscapes through Crayon Making Workshop

Abstract

A workshop was developed to help residents describe and share the local colors of landscapes by creating an original crayon set. Over four years, it evolved into a standardized method accessible to children. The process includes tool preparation, color-hunting, crayon making, and archiving. Participants improved their color perception and captured seasonal colors without loss. This approach preserves regional landscapes and suggests potential for fostering community connections. The finalized methodology was compiled into a manual and published online for wider accessibility.
