Article: Color in Education

Color in Education by Sheri Thompson

While I found this article interesting, especially in the fact that the color in the room can lead to learning and motivational results, not just results in "feeling."  Given the opportunity to repaint my classroom, or to repaint an entire school building I would certainly look back at this article.  Unfortunately, classrooms in my building rarely (if ever) get repainted.  In my 5 years, I spent one in a room that needed repainted and it was requested, but never happened, and the other four in a room that doesn't need it as badly, but still has not been repainted (as the article suggests is important).

I will say, however, that I would consider some of these ideas someday when I have children and look to paint a bedroom (that is, if my wife let's me help pick the colors!).
