School Painting
School Painting Twin Cities, Minneapolis, St. Paul
Yes, color does affect student learning. When using the correct colors for the classroom, students’ knowledge and memory can increase. All of us have experienced the effect that colors can have on our moods, our attention, and our creativity. In the classroom, varying colors and color combinations can affect memory, behaviors, feelings, and focus. So, let’s get a little more creative, and scientific, as well. It’s important to remember that many people have color preferences to specific colors because of their cultural backgrounds or geographical locations, as well.
Neuroscientists at Harvard Medical School used magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to access the color-processing region (color center) of monkeys’ brains. They found that humans process color in the same ways as monkeys. The researchers determined that:
- Volunteers did five to 10 percent better on standardized pattern recognition tests when the patterns were colored.
- Color also boosted memory over time.
- Blue seems to stimulate creativity and calmness.
- Too much blue may increase levels of depression
- Red stimulates feelings of energy or threat, but, in some cases, improves focus when observing repetitive or detail-oriented tasks.
- Yellow seems to intensify happiness.
- Too much yellow activates stress.
- Green can be relaxing and can contribute to physical health.
- Pink is calming and can lower heart rates.
- Purple is attention-grabbing.
- Orange stimulates memory, thinking, and also seems to increase the appetite.
Additionally, the hue, saturation (chroma), and brightness or value affect the reaction to colors, as well. Hue, value, and chroma work together to influence our emotions and feelings.
