Crayon and Character: Truth Made Clear Through Eye and Ear Or, Ten-Minute Talks with Colored Chalks

"Crayon and Character: Truth Made Clear Through Eye and Ear" by B.J. (Bert Joseph) Griswold is a handbook from the early 1900s, designed for Christian teachers and families, meant to teach moral principles using the art of chalk drawing.. The book focuses on ways to capture the attention of both adults and young people with chalk pictures while teaching lessons from the Bible. It gives advice on how to use simple drawings to make important points about being a good person. The book starts with a preface urging the use of chalk talks to help those who may not be artists make powerful pictures. Griswold shows how to use two related drawings to keep the audience interested and suggests many subjects for these drawings, all tied to teaching life lessons and building strong character, making chalk talk an accessible art to make meaningful impressions on people of all ages.
