As I was in the Secret Santa in my family this Christmas, I had to buy my little cousin something and quickly too as there was only 3 weeks left. But I didn't want to buy her something, I wanted to make her it. I searched for a way to make her present custom and unique, fitting in her personality and desires after learning that she liked galaxies. Turned out that there was a canvas art called Crayon Galaxy from a DIY video on YouTube.

Textured, realistic, beautiful, and creative all described Crayon Galaxy. It usesd colors such as the beautiful purples and pinks and blues seen in crayon boxes to make it look like an actual galaxy. Textures from leftover crayon make it seem more than a flat canvas, enabling it to reach out to the viewer. Melted white crayon imitate stars and other heavenly bodies, furthering the reader into realizing that this galaxy is real.

I grew spiritually because of it. It inspired me to do something foreign in my art routine through it being amazingly captivating and well done. I generally stick to drawing or digital art, and have never worked with a canvas. It made me realize that good art may come from different medias, therefore spiritually enlightening me to know more about one of my favorite things, art.

It was able to reach me by being able to pull off the task of creating something as breathtaking as a galaxy with something people normally don't associate this type of realistic art with. The innovated thought that went behind it makes something as childish or redone look amazing. It refreshens crayon art into an artwork that isn't just meant for a child, but for everyone. This is due to its appeal in esthetics and evocative way of portraying a galaxy.
