Editing Crayon (section)

==Artists==
Early French artists, including [[François Clouet]] (1510–1572) and [[Nicholas L'agneau]] (1590–1666), used crayons in their early art projects. Clouet used crayons for his modeled portraits, which were so elaborate that he caught the attention of Henry V, who knighted him. He became a court painter for the royalty, and his entire art career began with and consisted of wax crayon art. L'agneau illustrated his portraits with outlines in wax crayons, and with tints of watercolor. His portraits were often of people who looked surprised or unaware of their surroundings.<ref name="Girdler, Reynolds 1967"/>

[[Gertrude Morgan|Sister Gertrude Morgan]] was most known for preaching the Gospel around New Orleans with simplicity and easy-to-understand crayon drawings. Morgan caught the eye of a gallery owner [[Larry Borenstein|E. Lorenz Borenstein]], and was allowed to show her work, play her music and spread her word of God at the gallery. Her early drawings were that of just very modest and simplicity crayon drawings, depicting biblical text to provide a clearer image to those who were unfamiliar with the Bible. Morgan went on to publish a record of her biblical songs and has artwork featured in the [[American Folk Art Museum]] in New York.<ref>"MORGAN, SISTER GERTRUDE (1900-1980)."
