Brilliant Colors!!!

  While watching the tv commercials that we needed to study in Module 2, I realized how much COLOR played into effect when viewing something.  The red "Doritos" chip bag was especially eye-catching and effective in the commercials since the creators did not put anything else of the same red color in entire commercial sequence - BRILLIANT!  In a classroom setting, colors also play a very important role in creating an appealing sense of learning to take place.  Most lower school classrooms are bright and aesthetically pleasing so the young students is stimulated to think and wonder with the variety of pictures and words posted around.  This is also the case for older students in the classroom, however I think their colors are more subdued to a point using tones and colors that reflect 'calm' so that higher order thinking can be inspired.  I wonder if a positive outcome of learning would also take place if Universities began giving professors the same ownership with rooms so they could 'decorate' their classroom learning environments?!
